Bald Eagle Chasing Prey

Maxis Gamez

Bald Eagle Chasing Prey - Florida

This one was created several weeks ago.

Hope you like it.

I rebuild the right side wing tip and added more canvas as it was clipped.

Thanks!

Canon 7D , 500mm L @ f/5.6, 1/800 sec, ISO 400, Manual exposure, Hand-held

I like that shot Maxis. Nicely done. It's a shame you clipped the wing and had to reconstruct them . Guess you won't be entering that one in a contest. Really too bad. Hmmm can't help wonder if I don't know where this was taken. Rumors abound of the coot/moorehen chasing eagle. *-)

Take your best guess and you are right, I may not be able to enter that one in a contest but this one I can



What have you been up-to and when are we going out in the boat??

I like both--the talons are so sharp, more ways than one! If you go out on the boat with Mike, do wear a hat. His birds like him, and especially his friends, A LOT. Happy New Year to you both! Pam

Beautiful. Nice job "rebuilding" the wing tip. I like the second one best; good work.

Hmmm where the cranes call out my name and the county workers put up fences to make shooting a bit more difficult. thumb

That 2nd shot is nice as well. If it hasn't been over manipulated in PS it would be a good one to enter in a contest , wouldn't it.

I've been busy shooting with Marina, jean and the "gang" from the eagle's nest. Also working on the boats. Both having some major repairs done on them. Good thing I can do this myself as I'd hate to shell out the money for that. Now it can go towards camera gear.

Boat trips are pretty booked up for a while. I might be ablet to get you out on the water after Marina, Sally, Jean & David, Steve P, Clint P, John L, Paul M, Larry L, the rest of the eagle gang, Harry B, Troy L,, John Y, Tom & Tommy K, Artie M, Fabs and Al F, James & Blake S the dozens of folks on BPN & NSN , Brad & Angelina , all my fishing buddies and the lady that does my hair.
