Between the Clouds

[Tony M]

While hiking in La Najarra mountain near Madrid, I was lucky to capture this eagle flying towards me. Aside from being lucky and managing to focus on the bird, I particularly like the contrast in the type of cloud in the scene, and the near monochrome look; it's the original colour photo and was not converted to B&W.



Canon 6D, 400mm f/25, ISO 320
The camera was set to Tv, and I was shooting other scenes in shade at ISO 320 while waiting for the bird to appear, which is why the aperture was small.

That's a once-in-a-lifetime image. Right place - Right time .... and with the knowledge and skill to capture the picture.
