p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Eagles at Lake Verret, Louisiana


It is late in the season but I decided to take a chance and visit the Lake Verret area near Morgan City in Louisiana to see and photograph eagles. I had never photographed birds from a boat before, so I had no idea how difficult it was!!!! The constant motion of the wakes makes it impossible for me to use a tripod and keep the birds in focus. I used a Nikon 200-400 with 1.4TC on a D7100. I set up manual mode, with the f-stop to 8, and kept the shutter speed high (1/1000 to 1/1650) with auto ISO.

Here are two shots that were semi decent. They are cropped quite a lot.

Your comments are always welcome. Thank you for your time.

I shoot birds often from a kayak, so I know how difficult it can be. You did well. That first shot is a real stunner. Not only do the poses mirror each other, but the soft transition from clouds to blue sky cutting diagonally across the image really makes that shot special.

Can't go wrong with either one. That said, I think I like # 1 the best.
