Please release me, let me go...(12 pics)
The Raptor Release in Minnesota.
I, like most people think that the shots that I take, suck.
Not this time. I'm really happy with what I got. Most of these are
cropped quite a bit, one, I really need to do over cause I tried to
remove someones head from the shot, but I didn't do a very good job of it.
Canon XT, Canon 70-300is lens. PSE4 for post.

The Second Red Tailed Hawk
This gentleman won the chance to release this hawk by having his named pulled
from a bowl. The names of people that joined the rapter center at the release
were the ones with their names in the bowl.

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!"
Harry your right, it was a thrill. I may never get to see a bald eagle
released again. I'm so happy that I didn't blow it.
They said that the eagle weighed in at 14 pounds, 2 pounds more than
any other eagle that they had released.
Thanks again.
