Harry is right: Bald Eagle BIF
Harry said there are two kinds of people in this world: those who love birds and those who don't know it yet...since I got my Panasonic FZ-50 and its compact, looooong lens, I've shot almost 300 pics of birds...it really is addictive.
My office overlooks a lake that was drained temporarily for road construction. I turned around one day and saw a bird soaring over the pools of water left over. It looked familiar, like I had seen it on a coin or dollar bill
. I grabbed my camera off my desk (like any photog geek, I carry my camera almost everywhere) and started pressing the shutter button as fast as possible.
The window I look through has IR coating plus its kind of dirty with crud. The pic was through a film of white and brown crud so it did not come out crystal clear so I make it kind of 800ASA film looking. Of the set, this one is my favorite. I am soooo thrilled to catch a Bald Eagle in the wild.

Great capture considering the shooting conditions. There's no thrill like getting an eagle capture and you got an action shot.

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!"
The first of many, I hope!
