Eagles

[Brian]

Went out today looking for some wildlife to shoot. What a great day it ended up being. I'd certainly appreciate any suggestions you may have (besides cutting the tail feathers off the bottom one).

Oh man Brian! How cool is that! How many Bald Eagles did you see? I like these a lot. It's hard to control where branches are, but overall pretty sweet I would say. Where did you shoot these at?

PS. I heard if you whisper directions very quietly, they will hear you and move for you.

Yeah, dang branches. These were taken at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal Wildlife near DIA. It's an awesome place. Definitely worth checking out next time you're here. I lost count on how many eagles you see out there. Maybe 20???

Thanks for the info Brian. I will see if I can squeeze in a visit there.

I like this photo a lot, the contrast with the deer in the foreground with the out of focus city in the background is really quite striking. You should work up a couple of those and post them in their own thread.

I took a bunch of those. They are going to be my “learning” pics with the new Lightroom. I was thinking they might make a good Let’s Play photo.

These are great.

That would be awesome Brian, please email any that you think would be fun for Let's Play to Ben.

Jim is correct, just make a dng of the ones you want to share and email them to me.

See this post for DNG

awesome set of Eagle shots! I know how hared these are to get, I'v been trying for a while now. Every time I see some they are either too far away or too overcast rendering a muddy image.

This one made me giggle, a few weeks back I was waiting in an area with another photog. He opened an app on his phone of eagle sounds. Not sure how effective it will be but it didn't work that day.
