so hard to take flying eagles! Good Pics. I like 'em in trees. Very Light Yellow filter.

Yes. I too use it as a walking stick. It is perfect for that. Yes, you can get it at Walmart.
Amazing versatile and cheap and effective.

I have been using an amazon purchased mono-pod. Light weight and cheap ($15). Easy to use and helps with steadiness.

I had a d7100 for a few years. Traded it toward a d7200. Wish I kept the d7100. It is a fantastic camera. Should be able to pick up a decent nikon telephoto used at a good price. Enjoy.

The eagle picture with the fish is the eagle shooters dream. Nice shot. You got the golden grail. Love it.

Yes. You do not see all the missed or bad shots. Probably 40 bad shots to each good shot.

Hawks, Eagles, Owls and the likes:
1. Learn where they are and their eating routines. For example, eagles tend to hang out in the same tree on rivers to fish. Usually an hour and a half before sundown. They like trees about an 1/8 to a 1/4 mile from their nests.
2. Patience, Patience, Patience. Once you find sites where the birds tend to hang out, you may need to go there 3-4 times before you see the bird. Also if the birds are there, approach slowly and stay far away as your lens permits. I have waited 2+ hours to grab a good series of shots.
3. Tripod.
4.. Manual focus when the bird is stationary.
5. Anticipate the birds movement.
6. Use continous shooting mode (not continous AF, unless you have a great camera). Bursts of 3-11 pictures a second will usually yeild a few really good shots.
7. DO use software to compensate as needed.
8. Patience and luck are key.
Good Luck!

let it be, let it be, let it be. Whisper words of wisdom (to you), let it be.

Film? Right. Walking is all around better for you than than driving. Of course if you walk, you face many limitations on where you can go and what you can do. I'd rather drive. Faster, better, cheaper and so much easier.
