p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Yippee - My “First” Fishing Sequence (9)

Hi PhotoFriends,

I need lots of practice shooting the Bald Eagles Fishing. Shooting at the water makes it much more difficult to get focus tracking on the Eagle. Shooting up in the sky is much easier.

I went to the Eagles this past Tuesday and holy moly it was the best fishing day that I recall going to The Pond.

There were so many fishing events

but the morning was grey and misty with most action far away

The weather was warm for December

But of course, being me, I was still bundled up as if I was in Alaska shooting Eagles

When I got home and downloaded my photos ….. I was literally screaming in excitement as I looked at them

, when I saw I got some fishing shots not too shabby because usually get them terribly out of focus. Guess it is Practice!

I still needs lots more practice but was glad to see a big improvement. If only they had come closer that would have even been a much better captures but there is always tomorrow!

Okay enough babbling…..

Here is why I was jumping out of my skin!

Obviously, this is not all the shots in the burst but it’s enough to see

I couldn’t wait to download my fishing sequence pictures in a new thread to show you why I was extremely excited!

I hope you enjoyed my nine pictures today!

Thank you all.

Congratulations on your super tracking skills and wonderful fishing sequence BeeBalm... very happy for you.

#1 is my favorite because of the beautiful light and pose, and it's very cool to see the fish too.

Very well done BeeBalm.
