p.1 #1 · Mr. Zoom is in da house!!!

As you all may have gathered by Ken and Tim's fine posts, I had the pleasure of meeting and spending the day with Ken, Bonnie and Tim on the Yaks in search of Baldy's for Ken. It couldn't have played out better if I wrote the script myself!! What was supposed to be a gray cloudy and showery day developed into a sunny beautiful fall morning and we were smilin

To top it all off, within 10 minutes of hittin the water, an adult BE flew in and perched in some gorgeous light with a classic fall BG. A few of what we saw today:

Ken's BE

Man you've been a busy post man

That take off shot is over the top!!!! Wow

The other eagles are serious sweet shots

GBH stands out nicely from the background, what the duck? Hard to tell what it is

The last shot, well that takes the cake

Edit--I'm back looking at these again, man Tom that first shot is blowing me away. Fantastic!!! ---/Edit Oh and nice shot of Ken, he looks pretty good in that light.

What a great day we had!!!

Hey Tom... Z

m and Tim's images were fantastic and it sounds like you guys just had a perfect day...

BUT... you're #1 is one of the coolest and very best BE images I have ever seen! Gorgeous light (thanks to Ken

), perfect exposure showing all of that clean and very natural looking detail, great launch action, and terrific comp. Magnificent Tom.

All the others are terrific too in this truly top notch collection... excellent work!

Hi Tom,

That 1st one is just plain awesome - where was I when that was taken?

The series justs gets better and better from there. It was indeed an awesome day and one I would gladly repeat with you kind folks any day.

Judging by the exposures I'm seeing from you an Tim it looks like I need to give up editing on the laptop. Mine look a littel bright in comparison....

Had a blast and thanks once again!

Wow! These are really great! By far some of the best eagle shots I've seen on here. Your processing is gorgeous. Care to share any tips or techniques? I've shot many eagles from a boat in Alaska and BC, but I'm humbled by these.
thanks for sharing,

Gosh Tom, does it get any better buddy

I all in for these eagle shots, superb Fall coloring, wonderful warm light and of course sweetly sharp.

A great looking GBH and a nice quack IF. Good thing for the ID on the last image, I was trying to find that thing in my floral ID book and was struggling just a 'blech'

Yep, I am sooooooooo envious but couldn't wish better for a great group of FM'rs!
