First time photographing an eagle
Apr 25, 2017 08:38:42 #
I have had my Canon Rebel T6s for a year now. I went overboard buying lenses because I didn't know what I wanted or needed. I have a Tamron 70-300 that I thought would come in handy for some longer shots. My husband and I were out the other day (he has wonderful eyes for spotting wildlife). We came across an eagle in a tree, but I didn't have my camera so we went home and got it. The eagle was gone from the spot we saw it, but lo and behold we found it in another spot. My husband pulled over and I just started shooting. I'm teaching myself BBF (back button focus). The only thing I forgot to do is when my husband made noise so I could catch a shot of the eagle in flight, I forgot to change my camera to "shutter priority." All in all, I am very pleased with my shots. There was no post editing done on these except cropping. Any opinions are welcome to this newbie.

Fantastic, How close were you
He was on a tree right near the road so I would say pretty close at approximately 50 feet.

Nicely done. Lucky on that 2nd chance. I find when I am not ready that first time I do not usually get a 2nd chance. You did. And, took great advantage of it!!
