p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 2nd time I saw eagles


I saw my first eagles about 3 winters ago and they weren't leaving the trees.
Finally took time to attend Larry's Hot Dog & Chili outing.
Met some friendly people, had some great food and got some eagle action.

Eagle critique on my photos welcomed.

I'll see if I can post a few. Don't post very often.

Thanks, Ken.





#1, 1DX with 400mm







#2, gliding along







#3, talons out, just above the ice







#4, fish in his beak







Thanks Morris, I looked at the clipped whites, and hopefully fixed

I think these are great. Thanks for sharing them. Perhaps I will make the event next year.

The first 3 are excellent Ken. The 4th gets lost in the background and the last has lost some detail in the whites. It sounds like a fun outing

Nice looking shots...some of the whites in a couple are a little clipped, but eagles can be hard to expose on a sunny day, good job...glad the hot dogs and chili didn't weigh you down

Thanks Morris, and others.
I looked at #5 and Lightroom was not showing any clipping, yet when I brought highlights down to -100
and lowered the exposure to -1.20, I think the whites on his head look better.
I have since uploaded the new exposure to replace the previous #5.
Ken.

All in all, I am quite happy. Just under 3 hours drive each way and less than 3 hours shooting.
I was pleased on how the 1DX locked in even when I was too far away and they were very tiny in the viewfinder.
I got smarter and moved more east so they were larger in the viewfinder.
861 shots and I think only 3 were OOF.
It was a great day to meet such very nice people.

I loved your pictures- not sure what clipped whites are but they are all keepers.
