I've wanted to photograph Eagles for the longest time, and I finally got to today! I saw this beautiful Raptor from across a field far up in a tree. I was shaking from caffine and excitement, and I had no tripod. I was worried my photos would be blurry because of that, but this is one of my photos from that far distance. My proudest work of the year so far!

I do not share locations to protect Animals, but I will say I photographed this Eagle in the northern east coast of North America.Time
It was in March of this year, 2020 on a beautiful sunny winter day at about 11:00 AM!Lighting
The sun was bright and glorious enough to illuminate this beautiful Raptor. The sunlight to me shows off its power and pride as it watches over its territory from the tree it was perched in.Equipment
I had photographed this Bald Eagle with a Canon Powershot SX530 HS. I did not have my tripod with me. I spotted it from the road, across a snowy field high up in that tree. The only thing I had was time and patience, and I only used my arms to balance with just a patch of shade to hide in thanks to my car, to see what I was doing. I didn't want to scare the Eagle, and so I prayed the photos wouldn't come out blurry. To my luck, they weren't!Inspiration
I have always wanted to photograph Eagles, and this is one of my first photos of these Raptors. My most proudest work of 2020 so far! Just looking at them I can feel how powerful and proud they are. They're majestic and graceful at the same time, and knowing I have a pair living near me at home, encourages me to protect them everywhere. It was luck to me that day I was able to get photographs of this Eagle!Editing
I just gave it a pinch more color and put my name on it.In my camera bag
My Nikon N75, Canon Powershot SX530 HS, tripod, and I just bought ND filters to practice with.Feedback
Practice and patience. Especially with stability. That's what I use when I dont have my tripod, and something amazing happens like this moment.
