Bald Eagle, St. Johns River, Florida

[Dale H. Cook128 22]

Wednesday I took a 2 hour boat ride on the St. Johns River from Blue Springs State Park in Florida. IIRC this was the first photo of a bald eagle that I have taken in my >50 years of photography. Even at 270mm it was pretty far away, and small in the original image, but even with major cropping it turned out better than I expected.

Pentax K-70, Pentax-DA 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 at 270mm, ISO 1000, 1/320s, f/8
