Celstron C5 telescope 1250mm and all manual focused.. the nest is a tiny speck to the naked eye O.
My three chicks are REALLY active..the center chick is the middle of the three and he was non stop active this am! Chick one was in the far lower left bottom corner and I didn't see him til later..chick three is the youngest and is still at the wing flap stage.. OL What a blast it has been following this eagle family!!! I have never shot birds like this before and it's so much fun!!!!
My new location is farther away than this! LOVE the telescope HAHAHAHA
Taken from the top of Sani observation tower in the Amazon basin of Ecuador. The tower was built to take advantage of a huge tree tree there. The incorporation of the tree in the tower structure makes is quite stable while it is towering close to 200 feet or a little over 60m over the ground. The morning was mostly foggy. So, I normally captured sceneries in the first hour of arriving on the top in the morning until the fog lifted before doing bird photography.
In this image, some metal beams were visible; it could have been cloned out but I decided not to and made them quite visible instead.

Hand Held relying on Camera IBIS, A7rII Kolari Vision UT sensor modified camera and Voigtlander 28mm f2 Ultron II VM lens; silent shutter.
