Behind The Lens
Location
This image was taken in Homer Alaska several years ago when the Eagle Lady Jean Keene was still alive and was feeding the eagles daily. There were at least 50 Bald Eagles of different ages there for food. I had always wanted to photograph eagles in Alaska and this was my chance. I tried to make the most of it and came away with some of my favorite images of all time!Time
We were up before well before sunrise to get to the location and set up. The eagles began arriving at first light and it was truly a sight to behold!Lighting
The light was all natural and kept getting better.Equipment
This image was shot on a Canon 1D MkIII with a 500mm f/4 Canon LensInspiration
I love Birds of Prey and always wanted to photograph the Bald Eagles of Alaska. This was the first and only time I had a chance to visit this spot.Editing
Minimal Post Processing other than the crop to isolate the eagle in flight.In my camera bag
I normally travel currently with a Canon 5D MKIV, 24-105mm Zoom Lens, a Canon 100-400 Zoom and a Canon 500mm F/4 for Birds and Landscapes . If I'm pursuing smaller creatures I travel with a 100mm Macro and a 180mm Macro and the Macro Twin Light.Feedback
Do your research and get out there. Patience is the key. Go prepared for cold weather and check for the perfect time of year.
