Yes, stunning Eagle shots, where are you getting them? I see Shawnee, KS; in your sig,
I spent some time in the early '80s in Leavenworth (short time, not hard time
)
Used to go up to a NWR (Squaw Creek?) in southern Nebraska, get eagles and geese in the winters, never got eagles like that through.
Good stuff!
Thanks. I love shooting birds in flight as it just adds so much to the image. Sadly, as much as I love my K3-II, the autofocus still leaves me with so many missed shots. Holding out hope for a new body...someday...
Eagles are from Valdez Alaska. I was up there in July as one of the first salmon runs was arriving. Eagles were everywhere. I even got lucky and had a day of bright sunshine which really made it fun to shoot.
I have been to Squaw Creek. Of course, now it's called Loess Bluffs NWR because "squaw" was deemed offensive. However, the creek is still called Squaw Creek. Don't get me started on the silliness of some things.
Speaking of, here's a couple from last fall when the snow geese were staged up. For those that haven't ever seen snow geese in huge numbers, it's absolutely amazing.
Here's a link to a crappy video of thousands of birds taking off
