I wasn't very happy with these but they were taken of the same eagles that Trevor posted from our POTN outing on Sunday. I definitely need better glass and to use my tripod.

Yup, I've been taking my tripod with me more and more recently. I think especially with eagles, who don't move all that much, it could give you another couple of f/stops or lower ISO.

Hi Dan,
I used spot metering on my shots and got pretty exposure. (More luck than skill)
Your first shot looks great.

Looks good to me Dan, if you are not happy with them then I guess we'll have to do it again ;)

Thanks!
Unfortunate the 20D doesn't have spot metering. Spot metering and the bigger LCD are to two advatages that I've heard of to the 30D over the 20D.

Partial metering will do on high contrast subjects like eagles & ospreys especially if the subject is over 75 feet away. For nearer subjects, I use center-weighted average. Nice captures Dan. I like the pose on the first.

Nice captures nonetheless, Dan! Such a magnificent bird.
