Behind The Lens
Location
Anclote nature river park,Tarpon Springs,Florida,US.Time
Around 9.00 amLighting
Was hoping it would fish as a few other photographers were close to the river,but the light angle was not right so i took a chance and moved away from the water a 5 -10 minute walk to get behind the sun and create a better lighting and i liked out as the lighting was much better enabling this cotrast in b & w bt also the eagle flew straight to me and away from the water so also got 3 great in flight shots !!Equipment
canon 5d mk III ,canon 500mm f.4 lens and canon 1,4 xextenderInspiration
Went out looking for eagles along the Anclote river where there are 2 known nests but we had been out there for 2 hours and no eagles and had made a decision to leave and were walking back to the car when we heard the Osprey cry that we had been watching and the eagle landed on the same tree as the Osprey so was worth the the wait-patience is so important in wildlife photography!!Editing
