Episode 3: Sloths and Poison Dart Frogs along the Caribbean

Join Jared Lloyd and Annalise Kaylor as they travel from the Pacific Coast of Panama to the Caribbean. The northeast of Panama is a world apart from the rest of the country. Remote. Accessible only by boats. The region is characterized by warm and crystalline blue waters filled with coral reefs, lush lowland rainforest, and countless islands that has led the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute to refer to the place as the Galapagos of the Caribbean.

The Bocas del Toro region of Panama holds an extraordinary display of biological diversity - especially in the form of amphibians. And there is probably no better place on Earth to find and photograph sloths.

In this episode, we discuss the basics behind using off-camera flash for macro subjects as well as the challenges of making sloths look sexy.
