I shoot film 2 or 3 times a year just to remind me how much more work it was. I love this Rollei. I bought it in 1974 for $200 and used it for weddings in my early days. The camera was used when I bought it. It's built like a tank and works well even though its taken a few spills. I used it for the first wedding I shot and I brought it along to the last wedding I shot in 2010 and ran a roll through it. It worked just fine. I went totally digital with my studio in 1999.
I made this a little more difficult by distorting with a 14mm lens and using the architectum action.
Climate science. They're cooking the books. Scientists can't even predict weather well. Might be a little to flood us out in the Midwest with rising sea level. All I had to see was your location and I already knew your politics.
Eagle numbers in our area are much higher than 20 years ago and there is a lot of hunting in this area (I.e. Lots of gut piles)
I would guess you are probably a big backer of renewable energy. Windmills kill plenty of birds.
Are you a hunter? Deer and other large game are shot with single bullets and gut piles may on a few occasions have a bullet in them but in most cases that isn't likely. Ingestion of bullets by eagles is unlikely. Waterfowl on the other hand are hunted with steel shot and my guess is eagles feed on more wounded waterfowl than gut piles. The steel shot would be more likely ingested but not a problem for eagles.
Being as close as 50ft from an eagle may be unusual but not necessarily illegal unless you are encroaching on a nesting area.
Maybe because we are in the waterfall flyway here in Nebraska but I see eagles quite often and we have nesting eagles in the city of Omaha.
Good shot. It's not that often you can get within 50 feet of an eagle.
I have to agree with Bob on this one.
I could photograph eagles all day. They are so majestic.
Photographed this shot with a 100-300 Panasonic Lumix zoomed all the way two 300. (600mm equivalent)
Visits from our feathered friends , the sandhill cranes are at peak this week. Its estimated that over 80% of the worlds cranes stop over in Nebraska during their northern migration. This photo was taken near the Rowe sanctuary in Gibbon Nebraska
Early March and a 70 degree day. Everybody was in a good mood!
