Eagle Takes Duck

[Debbie Stahre]

Too distant for the lens and I had battery failure, but knew from past cameras, I could keep taking it out and putting back in between a shot or 2 before next failure. Eagle caught duck, held under water, was turning in the water before take off while looking for closest place to eat it.

Wow - glad you were able to keep shooting. That's a pretty amazing sequence.

Wow - glad you were able to keep shooting. That's a pretty amazing sequence.

Thanks Alan. I managed to get more shots, but it was fast acting with the battery in and out a lot of times. He hung in the water for a good 5 minutes before take off.

Nice sequence to catch this action.

Great catch, the most amazing thing I aver saw was a large mouth bass jumping out of the water and nabbing a duck from an overhanging branch, but no time for me to stop my vehicle and gran my camera.

Wow Debbie!!! What a great sequence, and that’s knowing your camera! Being able to eek a few more shots out? That’s amazing, and so are these captures. I have never seen an eagle catch a duck before.

Spectacular series, Debbie. World class images. You should separate the the images a bit more to give them more impact

A bass grabbing a duck is amazing!

Thanks! I don't know how to separate the picture...

 

[Ben Egbert]

Just hit return after each picture, each return adds a line. You can do this in edit mode. Be sure you have your cursor at he bottom of the top picture you wish to separate from the next.

Thanks! I don't know how to separate the picture...

Its really easy, Debbie. After you post the first image put the cursor just outside the lower right side of the image click it and then hit return as many times as you want to get as much space as you want. Before you click Full Image for the next one click down as much space as you want and then click it . When you hit full image it will go right there.

See Ben's information above if you have trouble understanding mine.

Can it be done with these now after they have been posted or only at time of loading?

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Yes it can. Just click on edit and add separator lines between images.

Incredible, I did not even know they would go after ducks. Way to know your gear too, the difference between getting the shot and not it sounds like on this sequence. Very cool!

Thanks ML! I don't know if too many photographers know that trick with a battery failure...

Thanks Jim. I've seen it twice.

Great drama, Debbie! That was some fast battery replacement (not sure what to actually call it) & well worth it.

Amazing capture, and quick thinking! #2 is my favorite.
