Re: I keep trying the eagles
Nice depth of field, helping to separate the eagle from the background. very sharp, though I'm wondering if a little blur would help suggest some movement?

Not sure about the framing but the shot looks good to me.

Re: I keep trying the eagles
Thanks Bobo . Now that you mention it the framing is somewhat diverting attention.

Re: I keep trying the eagles
A beauty, James. And I am amazed at the freeze you got (just enough - wingtip blur perfect) at 400mm and 1/250.

Re: I keep trying the eagles
Very nice.. Gorgeous light and focus. I can't believe that you managed this at a shutter speed of just 250, so I am going to try some lower shutter speeds the next time I see an eagle. One way around low light.
Thanks for sharing.

Re: I keep trying the eagles
Be careful Christina slow shuttterspeeds often reward me with a messy culling bin.

Re: I keep trying the eagles
Nice shot, James. I love the bird being lit in front of a BG in shadow. Considering your ss, the body position on the bird, and the fact the wings are still reasonably sharp, I'm going to guess he was gliding and you were panning along with him. Correct? What exposure mode were you shooting?
Ya done good...

Re: I keep trying the eagles
Hi James,
Will do. My dark noisy eagle shots always reward me with a messy culling bin... No difference.

Re: I keep trying the eagles
Even with the reduced light and hard crop, it turned out well, James. Keeping after the eagles is getting results.
