Very well done! Would you mind sharing the EXIF data or give away your secret of how you got him so sharp (in flight!)in such crummy light?

Thanks. I always forget to add the particulars. No secrets. I fire off a burst and hope to get a keeper. Once in a while I get lucky.

Nice capture Blue Deuce. I agree, the tail is a bit hot but the focus compliments for that. I hope I can capture one of these magnificent birds as I've seen em only in captivity.


Best regards - Reyno

This is a very good in-flight shot of the Bald eagle blue nicely composed and captured, well done.

I don't think the poor light hurts at all, Blue - I really like the amount of detail you've got here.
