    That is an awesome shot! It’s terribly cloudy and windy today, anything I can do to get a decent shot? I’m having issues figuring out how to handle shutter speed on a windy day.

      I’m happy to hear you like this shot! I wish I could offer some great advice regarding success on a windy day but I’m a shoot on automatic kind of person… my best bet is to brace yourself against something solid, take a lot of photos, and hope at least one of them work. 😉

      Thanks Archita. 🙂 He was very relaxed and just quietly watched Ryan and I walk around the boat for about 15 minutes…

    Okay, I have conflicting voices in my head. One is yelling “I’m on top of the world,” and the other is singing “Drink up me hearties, yo ho, yo ho.” What a beautiful bird, and a spectacular capture.

      Thanks CG, they are beautiful birds up close and surprisingly large and powerful. We have a lot of Eagles in this area and it can be dangerous to leave small pets outside unattended…

    What a catch! Sensational shot… he certainly looks like he is the master of the universe. What a regal bird. And on the old mast… too perfect.
