Eagle Team 5... Week 5 update

24Megapixseal Loc: Kansas
 
We still have 3 eaglets...
Yeah 💪😎👍...everyone's rooting for all three to survive...does anyone have info on when they 'usually' lose the third eaglet?...if he's held on this long, will he survive to be flying fletching?!?!?...I hope so!
Male eagle flying, Female perched, a couple close-ups for the with/without nictitating eyelid shots.

2nd and 3rd flying eagle shots were a little hot, I threw in +1.0 EV, shoulda left it at 0 or -.3 EV...(First closeup flying) The morning sun and white heads on dark brown bodies in open blue sky IS VERY DIFFICULT to keep from blowing out the highlights...and still get some body feathers details... But just more experience under my belt to know what to do next time!

Now to start packing for tomorrow's road trip to Dallas for Eclipse24 ...

Nice set! Could try shooting for the highlights & bringing up the shadows doing a localized edit using an exposure brush if you have the software to do so.

Thanks everyone.... I can't wait till Friday... Hopefully, those eaglets will be too big to hide in the bole of the nest... 🤞🏻🤞🏻
