I never thought for one moment I'd ever take shots as good as these

The second bald eagle photo is pretty sweet. Great capture.

I also like number one the best, though all of these are superb!

many thanks

Simply amazing... one day I will be as good as you! Yeah right

why not? All it takes is practice, all I'm doing is pressing the shutter button. After all photography is by far the easiest art form

I've been out photoing with him and its all pure luck I can assure you!!!:mrgreen:

98% luck and 2% pure talent I have you know!!

Fantastic shots! and well deserved coms

many thanks

your getting really good at stalking them...

Even @300 (or 450 ?) you have to be pretty close. and their senses are sharp, congrats, you are da man !

Beautiful shots.

390mm on my camera, but yeah I was close, at one point the Great Grey Owl hit the back of my head with her wing as she flew over

Now these are the shots that I'd KILL to be able to take... maybe with a little more time, practice and better equipment.

Believe me all it takes is practice, practice and more practice and a lot of luck and yes the camera gear does help, anyone that says it doesn't is just lying to make themselves feel better

Now, the serious question... just how did you get so dang close? I use a 300mm lens and I can NEVER get close enough to get shots like that?!?!
I know you said that it was at a conservancy of some sort.. but does that mean those birds let you get that close? BTW I guess I should ask, how close were you?

Oh, and one more thing... AWESOME FRIGGIN' SHOTS!!!!!!

ttfn
CDL.

Yeah I was close, must of the inflight shots were about 5-10 meters away

The second bald eagle photo is pretty sweet. Great capture.

many thanks
