Nature Eagles at slower shutter

Eagles at slower shutter · **1 Like**

So I went down to the river today and it was the worst day ever for eagle action so I decided to take some shots of the cormorants fishing. I typically shoot at 1/3200 for the eagles diving but I slowed it down to 1/500 for the cormorant and of course I forgot to change it back when a eagle came.

The dive was to far away to shoot but it came in over head afterwards and desperate for any shots I took some. The wing tips are a little blurry but the body and eyes I think came out ok.

There is some blurriness, expected at a 500 ISO, but some of the features came out quite sharp. Sometimes when I have been out shooting small birds at 320 ISO, and a larger bird comes by almost instantaneously, I have just started shooting without changing to a more appropriate ISO. I just took it in stride though, since I hardly ever do it.
