Yesterday, after viewing Doug’s way cool close up shot that he took in his new DIY softbox that he made, I went over to the site he’d been hangin’ out on and hung there myself for awhile. I just happened to have everything I needed and so I built my own DIY softbox. I took a couple of test shots using the sun as my light source. I hope to play around with that a little more over the next couple of days before we get back to the old routine around here.
Today I came across a couple more shots of the bald eagles from Busch Gardens, so I thought I’d post one. Maybe I’ll be lucky this year and discover the wild ones that winter here on the east side of our peninsula.
Hope everyone is having a great week.
Beautiful shot of a beautiful majestic bird.
HI Micky, i hope you'll come across one of them in your country.
I love the birds of prey like this eagle.
There are some eagles in the Pyrenees but they are always too far from my camera. LoL
Have a nice day.
This guy does not look friendly, a good zoom lens i suspect. well done.
Wow. Excellent shot.
What an impressive bird! Critters you said?
Well done Micki, lovely capture!!
One of nature's most magnificent creatures. Awesome shot.
Hmm i'd really like to hear the story behind this. He looks kinda lost sitting on the forest floor like that.
Oh wow I thought maybe you were lucky enough to just have bald eagles hanging out in your yard.
Really lovely shot, Micki.
Beautiful eagle. We get quite a few circling over our place sometimes during the summer, but I almost never see them on the ground.
Have fun with the lightbox.
He looks as though he is posing. We are lucky enough to have lots of eagles where I live.
Hm, I don't think there's much I can add about this shot that hasn't already been said! but I'll just say that I really like it :) - great work.
Amazing! How did you get so close? Great capture, Micki!
Amazing catch. We have these around, but it is very rare to see one. Nice.
Lovely shot which captures the confidence of those birds. You may not have recorded the camera settings but the eagle eyes woulda read everything including the serial number!
Still loving the increased clarity and detail realized by your new scanner!
Nice shot. I hope I can someday find one in the wild when I have a camera with me.
