Finally got some sun down here in southern MN. so I went for a road trip on the back roads in search of roadside eagles. Got this beauty this afternoon about a half hour before I lost the sun with my 7DII and 100-400 version I handheld. He landed at the top of a pine tree how fitting for the holiday weekend.

So far I love it AF is killer and ISO much better than the original. I now shoot auto ISO without worry

Truly majestic!!
I have yet to capture my first eagle; however your photography inspires me to begin the chase. Thank you!
AWESOME,

Essentially what photography is is life lit up.
