Thank you! The conditions were so so but I'm still really proud of these photos. The sun beaming in front of me didn't really help but the photos turned out best with f5.6 and about 125-160 shutter speed. Everything else was either too dark and I wouldn't get much detail.
I know eh! The bird moved a few times and I started to move back slowly as I honestly thought it was going to attack or swoop in front of me. I thought to myself.. "it's going to poke my eyes out with those things"
I'm really amazed at how their wings are when in flight or during lift off. So graceful yet dangerous to their prey.
I have some more photos, funny photos... It started to move its wings so I was getting ready for some action but it actually just pooped and aamzingly I got it on camera! lol
I'll be back with more next weekend. I really want some sweet Bald Eagle shots.
Thanks again
Mike
