Would you mind if I used this as a guide for a drawing that I'm giving my father? It would be greatly appreciated.

Are you from the northeast Doc? Because they congregate on the southern coast of Connecticut in the fall and winter.

a good workman buddy.........
lol!


Its not the tool, its the light, youll never get good detail in that light. Its far too harsh for those lovely white feathers! A polarizing lens may help a little, or if you can, have the whole bird in the shade, or the light. There some nice feather detail around the neck though!

SteelCowboy In reply to CoupeKid [2006-08-06 15:58:20 +0000 UTC]

Your comments make perfect sense. I must think about the light more when shooting as the wide range always gives me trouble, trying to balance it. Thanks for the sensible tip.

This is beautiful Rock. The light and shadow is superb, the eagle looks like he has been rightly placed under the spotlight. What a majestic creature, you captured him looking so proud. I love the way his eye is half in shadow and the beautiful feather detail. Great exposue, that would have been tough with the white, the brown, the light and the shadow. Love it. Was the eagle in the wild?

SteelCowboy In reply to Zarafa [2006-08-06 15:27:58 +0000 UTC]

The Eagle was in a reserve dedicated to rehabilitating and releasing injured animals. He is almost ready for release back into the wild. They all have that heavy feather detail over the eye, so if you trying to photograph them around midday, you'll get that shadow. In this case I thought it brought more impact to his look.

You did this eagle proud, Rock. I love the shading on his face; it's just enough to dramatically enhance and set of his features. It's extremely well composed, too. And I LOVE the frame. It's perfect for the subject.

SteelCowboy In reply to desmo100 [2006-08-06 15:33:55 +0000 UTC]

Thanks.......waited to shoot him for he wouldn't come into the sun, so by the time he did the sun was high. I hoped the shadow would add to the impact of his look.
