The San Blas islands are located on the Caribbean side of Panama and are known as the Comarca de Guna Yala. These islands are controlled by the Guna Yala indigenous people who gained their independence in 1925. Our guide, Jesus Prestan talks about the revolution (which is celebrated the entire month of February) and the development of their flag. Please note that some confuse the symbol with the Nazi swastika, but it is actually based on a Hindu symbol. The islands are ideal for snorkeling!

The Luna Display was a Kickstarter project from Astropad and currently sells for $129 - https://astropad.com/product/lunadisplay/ . Jim was a backer of the project and presents a review of the Luna Display HDMI verision for the PC. The Luna Display comes in two versions, one for the HDMI port and another for the USB-C port, so be sure to purchase the one that will work best on your PC or Mac.

Yes, this is The Fotobug 300th episode! So, Fred and Jim decided to celebrate and pull a piece from the vault from a couple years back. Breakthrough Photography filters are still available and they have even more to offer than when this episode first aired. These filters have a life time warranty and are very color neutral, so are excellent to use for long daytime exposures. Have a happy holiday! Don't forget to subscribe to The Fotobug YouTube channel!

Fred and Jim recently returned from North and South Dakota conducting workshops for The Black Hills Photo Shootout. In South Dakota, The Fotobug guys were asked to demonstrate DSLR and mirrorless video capabilities by making a movie at 1880 Town. We are proud to present the movie "Time Lapse" here for the first time! We are quite proud of the finished product in view of the fact we only had 3 hours to film most of the 1880 scenes! We want to thank all those who helped and Tony Dutoit for agreeing to act as the town sheriff. If you would like to learn more about our production techniques, let us know! The video is also available on The Fotobug Youtube channel at http://www.youtube.com/thefotobug.
In the news we talked about a March 2021 discounted photo trip to India from EMS Photo Tours led by Pulitzer Prize winning photographer, Essdras Suarez. For more information go to https://emsphotoadventures.com
