Behind The Lens
Location
I have two dogs which I take for walks as often as possible along the Mississippi River in Minneapolis, MN. At the time this image was taken there was a nesting pair of eagles which I began to follow in the fall of 2015.Time
During our morning walk along the river.Lighting
It was just flat lighting of an winter overcast morning.Equipment
Handheld with my Canon 5d III and 70-200mm F2.8 with a canon 2x multiplier.Inspiration
I think eagles are magnificent birds to watch and photograph. They have inspired me to continue to make images of birds and go places to follow migrations of sandhill cranes and snow geese.Editing
Yes there was some post-processing to brighten and add some popIn my camera bag
When I go for my hikes I usually just choose a camera and one lens to use for that trip. Could be a wide angle, normal or telephoto. It just depends upon the mood.Feedback
Patience is necessary to wait out birds.
