An Eagle This Afternoon
Jan 10, 2021 16:29:52 #
Went out looking - D7200 with AF S Nikkor 200-500 5.6E ED. Found an Eagle relatively close, but the light not quite so favorable. I probably would have been a little better off with the 600, but the 200-500 is a lot more pleasant to handle.

One of the things I've learned from the Muench webinars, is how to lighten selected portions of an image. I do it in LR. Do you have that?

Thanks! I do very little post. I have several kinds of software, but don't enjoy using them. Because of the position of the bird relative to the sun there was no way to get a better exposure. I'm often more fortunate, but take what I can get.

Looking very serious! Fine set quixdraw. 
Thanks very much Sylvia. There is one shot where I'm sure he was wishing I was very small!

I like them! Don't you have Golden Eagles up there too?
Thanks, Chief. We do have the Goldens as well and they are even larger.

Thanks - private property at a pretty significant distance. I have used fill flash on small birds at close range, don't have a flash that would reach out that far.
