Afterwards I realized that I should have been shooting in AI Servo the entire time, Doh! I was shooting landscapes the day before and had a different focusing mode selected. I gotta learn the hard way ;) Thanks for looking!

2 and 3 are fantastic! I envy you the chances for brilliant eagle shots where you are.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

I looove 1 and 2. I would never get a chance like that out here. The first one has such an amazing contrast. Kudos!

I should have known it was Seward. I went there last year for the 4th of July. Bald Eagles are so plentiful there.

Here I am with the family just before midnight waiting for the fireworks: (For all of you who don't know the sun does not set for a period of time during the summer in Alaska)
