Although I am known for my cannabis imagery, especially that including the small little hummingbirds that visit my garden. I sometimes get out of the house for a larger species. Once a year I travel to Shasta Lake in Northern Ca. to try and get these majestic Bald Eagles in my view finder. I've been doing this for years, it is very difficult, but I have developed a technique that is beginning to pay off for me. This year I am happy with my results, being I shoot with mid-priced optics and cameras thus am at a little dis-advantage VS. the Pros that do it for a living. Someday I'll step up to that "best lens" level! These were last week at the Lake. I like sharing my photography here at this friendly forum no matter what the subject may be...Enjoy the pix...DD
Fantastic, Doobie! Keep up the great camera work! Now if you can only get a bald eagle to land on a branch of cannabis sativa, you'll make the cover of High Times!
Those are fine shots. We've had a pair of bald eagles nesting near our cottage for the last three years. This year, I finally got a camera and lens combo that might do them justice. If I can get a shot or two nearly as crisp and dramatic as your last two, I'll be thrilled.
Hey thanks all of you for the appreciation of my art. This is not easy..nor do I expect to get shots like that ever again! But I will try..I love going to the Lake and in the spring the eagles are fishing a lot filling the mouths of the little ones. Be well..DD
