When dry land is only about a square foot or so, it doesn't take much to upset the applecart. As I mentioned back in December, I went to Idaho for a family gathering and also got some time in photographing Bald Eagles that congregate on Coer d'alene Lake. They are there for the running of the coho salmon, a landlocked species. For some reason many of the birds would congregate at the far end of the lake. There were plenty of trees to perch on, but they wanted to sit on the few rocks and logs that were available in the water. For you shutter bugs. Nikon 3ds body, 600mm f4 telescopic lens, 1.4 tele-converter, iso 800, f-8, shutter speed 1/320 sec +, no compensation. There was very little light as it was snowing and butt ass cold. I sat out there for some three hours. More images to follow.

This is not only beautiful but also very original. By that I mean a shot rarely if ever seen. You should send this one to a magazine or book. Very well done.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Wow!!! That eagle behind the front one looks like he is looking at you rather closely...like he is really irritated about something. What an amazing shot! I am also looking forward to the other photos.

Aren't they as silly as most of the people ?! LOL
Great shot, indeed.
1. Artistic-wise
2. Philosophic-wise
Am only sorry about your getting cold, poor friend, but what wouldn't we do for the sake of the artistic effect and satisfaction of the viewers?

What a wonderful bird action shot. I can hardly wait to see the others. You know it was worth getting cold, for this one alone.

Fantastic group photo. Amazing how they change their usual behavior in groups or differing settings. Saved to enjoy more. Enjoyed the technical specs too.

Beautiful photograph like a time card calculator! But why do they congregate at the far end of the lake, even though there are plenty of trees to perch on?
