Its been pretty busy since starting the new job here in Syracuse, but I have managed to sneak out and fire off a few shots.

As always, I needed more reach, but I was thrilled to see these juvi bald eagles putting on a show.

    Its funny, on this LCD screen you can REALLY see where you took a lightening tool around the birds... its like a halo around each of the birds! HA! One of these days i'm gonna have to get out birding. I've done briefly in the past and its definitly a challenge!!! Hard hard panning on low flyers, tons of patience, and lots of +-EV adjustments when shooting straight up!

    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!"
