Some bird shots from up north.

So I hooked up with some local photographers to run up to the Skagit to look for Eagles. (Shawn, I didn't think you were interested in birds.  )
I also stopped at a birding area west of Conway to see what was there.
This was only my 2nd time out trying my hand at shooting birds.
Here's a couple of the 400+ I shot.



Full frame of Eagle.


100% Crop of previous frame. Guess they got a little dirty from the floods.


The mountains to the east.


Here's a couple Eagle shots.




Hanging out on a Island looking for fish.


Heron from Conway.


Birds move alot faster then Elk, and against the sky, you really need to be aware of the correct exposer.
I still have alot to learn when it comes to shooting birds.

Thanks for looking.

Yeah, I'm not real into birds but I would do it rather than sit on the couch.  I went and shot an eagle at Idylwood park the other day.  I believe that is Saylean's turf...

WOW Great pics !  That one Eagle you state is dirty.. Looks like a Juvi to me that hasnt colored all the way.

That pic of the Mts is Awesome !!!!!!!!!!

Great job Elkman.

He snubs birds and butterflies....LOL
They are extremely challenging to shoot and I have so much to learn to have pics like that.  Very nice elkman.  Man I need to get my lens fix

[NWTFhunter]

Funny one Bone !

Hell I need to get a camera.... decisions decisions decisions.  Cant decide if I want a new duck boat for next year, another rifle, a new hand gun, or a new fancy camera like you guys have.

Keep taking those bird pics they rock.

Great pictures!

The first one, has real good color and light IMO. I also really like the mountains, I'm a sucker for fresh powder!

Awesome work Elkman.  I say "work", because that level of captures doesn't come easy!
