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.

He was on a tree right near the road so I would say pretty close at approximately 50 feet.
Nailed it!!!!đź‘ŤReally like the first shot, but the backlit tail feathers are great in the fifth one are great. Go back every day.

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!!
You did GREAT on this King of Birds, Master of the Skies! Opportunities like this don't often present themselves!! But being in the right place at the right time thrills the Heart!! Keep up the good work and share your trophies!! God Bless!!
Very nicely done. Congratulations.
