Great shots, gentlemen!

I hadn't shot any wildlife since the hummingbirds left in late September, until few days ago. Conowingo has been exceeding slow this season so far. I am heading there for a few hours this morning.

Some recent shots:

Very nice Joshua!

From Conowingo yesterday afternoon. It's been an exceedingly slow season.

Thank you very much, Doug! It was slow at Conowingo but yet, those images you captured are excellent! I bet there are less people there than when I was there a few years ago, huh? The problem I experienced back then wasn't the action but the distance to the action from our shooting location...


_________________________________________________________



I know you enjoy capturing eagles and if you feel like doing so at closer distances then I would highly recommend going to the Sea of Okhotsk off Rausu, Hokkaido in the winter. Here are a few from earlier this year. This playful brown eagle really enjoyed the experience, too, it seeems...

Thank you Joshua! Beautiful eagle images you captured in Japan! I want to see their cranes someday too. Most of the actions at Conowingo, if at all, were on the other side of the wide river, almost 90% of them. At 800mm focal length, I still need to crop away 80% of the frames for most of these images. I will go back for maybe two more days before the season is over, feel like it never started. A few more.

A food fight yesterday. The white on adult bald eagle's head and tail is tough to meter properly when they fly in and out of different backgrounds. I used auto ISO -1 or -2 compensation already, still over exposed the white. sometimes

Need to dig out the 600 GM... It's been neglected since I bought the 300 GM and the 400-800.
