first post, a couple of eagle shots.

[davev]

Taken with a Canon 5DMKII, with a Canon 300f2.8 lens and a 2X tc.
Handheld, AV mode, ev -1/3, shutters were around 1/1600 at iso 400.
These are massive crops.
They started out at 5600 pixels on the long side, and were cropped down to around 2000-2400 LS.
Saved at 1200 x 800, and posted here at 800 LS.

Thanks for looking.
