Behind The Lens

Location

Hwy 140 - Rocky Point, Or

Time

Noon

Lighting

The lighting wasn't in my favor so I shot 2 stops under due to it being the first photo of 12 of the Wild Pair on a mating quest. Great experience to see them in action. Unfortunately the male lower left 6 months later flew through a picture window to his end. After following them for a while learning their behavior it was kind of sad. The good thing is she has found another mate much younger than the one that past but they seem more compatible , tons of energy when spotted.

Equipment

Nikon 7000. 80-400mm Nikon - Induro Tripod

Inspiration

Love starting my day looking for the American Bald.

Editing

Cropped

In my camera bag

Nikon Gear

Feedback

I always start looking for eagles in the morning and other birds of prey, some days are disappointing but if u have the patience you will always find something to make your quest worth while.
