Good catcher. Ready to sign up for the LA Dodgers.

This here eagle can catch anything you throw at him.

BTW, i should remark, for the pure at heart, there was no PS manipulation done on this image, only the ussual raw pp and a little cropping. For future reference, and as I've done in the past, if any of my images is manipulated in any way (copy/paste layers) there will be "composite" written under the image.

    Excellent timing! And a very nice exposure. I don't think that's an eagle, tho.

    Not an eagle? Not even one of those rare white eagles? Oh no!
    It looked like an eagle, walked like an eagle, heck it even flew like one.:D
    Sorry, just being a little facetious.
    Thanks for the compliment, Sid

    I just read your thread inquiring about TCs. It so happens the above image was taken with a Canon EOS 20D mounted on an EF 70-200 f2.8 IS + TC 1.4 mark II. I normally don't use this configuration for shooting birds though. But as you can see it worked in this particular situation.
    other pertinent info is: ISO 200 x f5.6 x Tv 1/2500
    Hopefully this info was helpful.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
