I was asked to join a friend to photograph the eagles that
meet along the Susquehanna river this time each year. Why not, something I have never done before
and always in for trying to capture something new. Having never photographed birds in flight, I
thought I would approach like a football game.
Fast shutter speed and not really knowing the next play.
Must have been 100+ other photogs with the same idea. I was definitely not prepared and not the
right gear. Some of the other photographers
were serious about their nature photography and it showed with their gear. My monopod set-up worked OK, and had to make
the best with what I have (I guess the best set-up is a Gimbal mount for the
long lens).
For the most part the eagles were not active this day but I was able
to get a few. Looking forward to going
again next year.
