Bald Eagle in Flight @ 1200mm
Jun 29, 2017 00:21:16 #
My first bald eagle shots (I've been trying for years). These are hand held at 1200mm with 5D Mark IV/EF600mm f4 II + 2x Teleconverter. I did my best to brace myself against a banister on the deck of our vacation house.
Heavily cropped. Not as sharp as I'd like but considering the flight shots are handheld, cropped heavily, and only at 1/1600 sec, I'm happy. Light was fading fast at dusk.
The last screen shot shows an example of the crop utilized on the original 1200mm image.

Some very nice BIF photos. You did very well hand-holding at such a focal length.

These are good photos but as you said not as sharp as you would like so I took the last photo for you and fixed it up a little. If you like it let me know and I will send you the info on how to do it if you want to do the others. Very easy in PSE....Rich

Handheld, dusk, with that combination. Nothing to be ashamed of there. Nice shots.

Thanks bigwolf! The original shots IQ are not too good, so it's kind of like putting lipstick on a pig. Not at all putting down your post processing, as I quite like it. Just being honest about the original files.
