Checking your exposure settings when a bird has a white head is a must.Equipment
Canon EOS, R5, 500mm, prime lens with 1.4 adapter. Hand held. F/8, 1/800 sec shutter speed, ISO 200.Inspiration
I love wildlife photography, especially birds. Often eagles dig in the ice to find a fish to eat. This particular eagle worked for quite a while to dig up a lillypad leaf!Editing
I usually post process in Lightroom and photoshop. This photo needed cropping and a bare minimum of exposure adjustments.In my camera bag
At least one Wide angle, 1 100-400mm zoom, 500 prime and a macro lens are always in my bag. In addition I carry extra batteries and cards, lens cleaner and binoculars.Feedback
Just getting up and out In Nature early in the day, before the sun light gets too harsh seems to work for me.
