Ok that's enough for now... I'm literally waiting for all the images to download as I type this from my SECOND CF card! Hehe.... I hope you all enjoy them! Good guess by the way Peter. And Wing, you HAVE to get out there and redeem your Wing Tong Eagle that Peter has been busting your balls over Haha!


Naw, dwarf eagle is one of a kind, Peter's just jealous! Even he, with his years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years and years of shooting, don't have one of these. Young punk like me come in and snatch one off the bat! Gotta eat at a guy inside!
Well done on your eagles, Conrad! Your Coup de grace! Your game changer! Your walkoff home run! Check and Mate! Game set and match! The student has become the master! ..................................game over!

Conrad, I think you've used the opportunity presented very well.
You were obviously short on FL. For that kind of photography a 500/600/800mm on a pod would be well suited.

I was super short on FL for sure. The only time I got any closeups was when one of the pair would fly overhead looking for ground squirrels on the open field. I truly wished I had the 800, or at least the 600. Oh well. What can one do?

Thank you again for all your help Peter. I can't thank you enough!

No crying here..... YET!

Conrad, I am really happy for you. I remember when I saw the eagles for the first time. It was such an amazing experience for me.

I will just have to work harder now

Even a good sharp bird against a vacant sky looks kinda sterile when compared to even marginally captured birds in unusual surroundings and varied backgrounds.



The third image is excellent....art!!

The colors compliment so nicely

That ain't fair.......some folks seem to be in the Noelle's camp just because she is cute.

You know Noelle, I have shown all my friends these photos and no one likes #3 except me either. I thought it was a pretty cool shot. Oh well, I'm glad YOU like it. Hehe...
