Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo at the Lee Simmons Wildlife Safari park where I teach photographyTime
This was around 9am when most of my classes take placeLighting
The thing about bald eagles is you need to expose for their white head. I prefer to photograph eagles on overcast daysEquipment
This shot was taken with a canon 70d and a tamron 150-600Inspiration
I always look to capture all the different behaviors when I'm out teaching at the safari park and I love it when the eagles call to each other. This shot was the tail end of a call.Editing
I darkened the background to make the eagle pop more and added some clarity to the head and bodyIn my camera bag
My current camera back has my canon 5dmkiv, a tamron 150-600, canon 135 f2 and a canon 24-70 2.8Feedback
Wildlife photography is all about patience. You will invest hours into getting one shot.
