My best, so far, Bald Eagle portrait at 41 yards (Page 7): Fantastic! Clear, that eye looking directly at the viewer, the colors. Great shot!

Today, I used my new Nikon Laser Range Finder to accurately measure this Bald Eagle. It measures in yards or meters from 5 yards to 550 yards. This photo was cropped. I used the 600mm setting on my Tamron 150-600mm lens.
The sky was partly sunny with a little fog.

No, I don't agree. This one is a total flop.

And...........I'm totally kidding about that.

Beautiful shot.

Regis...maybe you should send that to the Pres. to hang in the White House? It's good enough for any house. Love your work. As always..."Great Shot"!! Thanks, Boone. :roll: :thumbup:

You just keep ruining my days. I was impressed with your other eagle shots, now this. I've been considering going to the f2.8 300 prime or replacing my 100 - 400 with the new edition and now you're forcing me to consider your lenses. Great shot, as usual!

Great shot Regis - I hope to get a decent Bald Eagle shot soon. I have booked as space on an Bald Eagle tour by pontoon boat on one of our local lakes - 20 mi away - I will be shooting with two cameras fitted with a 100-300 and a mirrored 500.
The tour - one of the two of the year- is put on by the water company who owns the lake. I hope it is not packed like sardines in a can. LOL

Regis, I see there are now 7 pages of replies so I'm not going to read them all. I normally pass over most bird photos but I'm glad I clicked on this one. This is an outstanding photo. You done good.

Regis,

Fantastic shot! Did you take this in Wolf Lodge Bay? I keep driving throug at night and miss all of the Bald Eagles fishing for blue backs. :-(

Great wall hanger! Good job. And excellent luck? I think it is skill.

Thank you, DougS. It is skill with a little luck or 2% skill and 98% luck. I don't know if Thomas Edison would agree. Oh well.
