Time to revisit this thread. Although I got some good eagle shots Wednesday (
2/26/14), I am not posting them because they look like so many of the other eagle shots I have recently posted.
These were taken handheld with the 5DIII + 100-400L telephoto zoom + 1.4 teleconverter looking west across Puget Sound from Marina Park. Besides cropping, I used Picasa's auto contrast + auto color features to tweek the photos. Call it the techno-impaired man's Photoshop.
The evil minions of the Dark Lord are hopeless posers. I wanted to shoot in
Av mode at
f/16 to get the mountains in focus, but the crow flew off before I could make the adjustments to my camera.
Winter arrived very late this year. Snow storms from the past two weeks have given the Olympic Mountains the proper seasonal look.
Close up of the container ship. I should e-mail these photos to Evergreen to see if they would purchase them for ads or PR purposes.
Free Photo Lesson: Pay attention to the background. I did not notice the distant ferry on the right side of the photo. I should have taken a few more shots with it completely in the frame.
