Tired of Eagles Yet?

I had the chance to attend the eagle feeding in Homer AK over this past weekend. Took over 1500 images, here are a few from sunday. I got better by my second trip on Monday. it was a little overwelming at first, so much was going on that i couldn't decide where to point the camera. The lighting was not the best when things started, but by the end it was great. this was the only time the 400L was to long for eagle photography, on day two i was getting full frame shots with the 24-70 .

enjoy.

Lovely shots. Esp no.4. Great expression on the eagles face

great series Dustin, I can't imagine what it was like to see that many, the 65+ I seen were amazing. Well done. Love the last one.

It was an experience that i will never forget. A fellow photog friend of mine, bsmith...., actually took and eagle to the face on the 2nd day of shooting. He came out without a scratch, and with a story that not many other people can tell.

glad you liked them. I never get tired of photographing them either, in fact i am heading back over to Homer in a few weeks to give this another shot now that i know what to expect.

Beauty of a series Dustin! My fav's are #2 & #5. But they are ALL worthy! Very hard to choose.

Lol!! I was getting jealous of everyone elses amazing eagle shots, so i just had to go out and take some of my own.

Love like the close ups of the face shots especially the 2nd one. That looks like one bird you don't want to mess with.

I had been wanting to get some good close-ups of eagles in the wild for some time and i was like a kid at christmas this weekend.

thanks for looking

That must be an awesome sight, very nice shots !!! I think the end of March is the end of the feeding these birds.

Great set of shots - last one is my fave!
