Eagle

[Raindog]

Here's one of the crap shots that I salvaged from LPZ...

 

[Joliver]

how did you get so close? this is great.

 

[Raindog]

Thanks,
I wasn't close, this was taken with a 300mm lens.

 

[peteh]

Such nice quality!

 

[LaFoto]

LPZ?????
What is that?

And why "crap picture"? And why "salvaged"?
This looks perfect to my eyes.
Crisp and clear, very near (even with my 300mm lense would I NEVER get as close to any wildlife as some of you on TPF do...) - and with such a dignified expression of eagle pride... could become a POSTAL STAMP!

I own a 300 and 500mm lens, that is still close, unless you enlarged greatly, if so the sharpness is unreal.

ill have to get u guys some close ups my mom is a naturealist and takes care of a eagle.i got to give the thing a bath one day.

crap shot? i don't think so!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

 

[thebeginning]

that is no crap shot...very nicely done. is that the full frame, or was it cropped? you would have to be fairly close to get that detail.

 

[photographiti]

very nice and crisp!

you got to give it a bath?? tight!

 

[Raindog]

Thanks everyone,
That was a crop, as is this one taken a bit closer...

Here's a strange one...

 

[Canoncan]

AH did you mean crop instead of CRAP. If so it all makes sense.

 

[Raindog]

I wish,
The first image is terribly soft at 100%. I would have trashed it right away had it not been the only one I got of that pose.

That is a crap shot? I wish my photos would look that good.
