Location
Picture was taken from a small boat. We had hired the boat from Flatanger in Norway with the objective of capturing pictures of Sea Eagles. The day before, in the same boat, we had gone fishing. The fish, mainly mackeral and pollock we used to attract the sea eagles. These had been frozen overnight to ensure the would float.Time
It was late in the afternoonLighting
The lighting was pretty much normal and nothing special was required.Equipment
Canon EOS 7D hand held with EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens.Inspiration
I had been travelling through Norway that summer in a camper van and had been trying to capture these elusive birds close up all summer.Editing
Shot in RAW so normal processing was done nothing out of the ordinary was neededIn my camera bag
On this trip I had a Canon 5d mkii and 7d. Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM Lens and Canon EF400mm f/2.8L IS USM Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM and 1.4 and 2 x convertors. Manfrotto Tripod, Wimberly mk11 head.Feedback
No need to head to Norway. You can now head to the Isle of Skye and visit mull charters http://www.mullcharters.com/ extract from their website below. They use the same methods to attract the eagles and the best opportunity to photograph them. Due to continued demand we are now offering bespoke photography trips which will compliment our regular trips. Currently these are to photograph the White Tailed Sea Eagles but in future could include other species. These trips will be strictly limited to 4 persons per trip and represent the ultimate opportunity to photograph these magnificent birds in their natural surroundings. The trips will either be early morning or late evening as you tell us this is the time you want to go. Exact timings and length of trip will vary due to daylight hours but can be agreed on in principal at the time of booking. We hope these trips will be of interest to photographic groups or professionals and we are prepared to work with you with regards to boat positioning in relation to light etc. Please call in the first instance to discuss your requirements. All trips run subject to suitable weather conditions and minimum numbers. The cost per person will be £150
