First Bald Eagle Feeding

Bald Eagle with Fish

Bald Eagle with Fish

This is the first time in 15 or so attempts to photograph bald eagles that I’ve actually seen them feeding.  Usually they just hang out in trees and occasionally fly around.  Sadly, by the time I had all my camera settings right, it was after sunset, so here’s an eagle with a fish at ISO 2200.

That is an incredible low light shot. Speaks pretty highly for that lens/body combination!

Capture NX 2.24 warning…

We installed the update today, and experience a day full of frustrating lockups when saving or cropping an image.  Two computers, both Windows 7 64-bit, both very beefy.  Version 2.23 never did this, so we reinstalled the old version.  Just an FYI for all you Capture NX users…

The Bald Eagles Are Back!

Can you find the picture that isn’t a bald eagle?

Wildlife Photography: Downy Woodpecker

We see a lot of woodpeckers this time of year, so I’ve been trying to get a good pictures of them in action.  While we were out photographing bald eagles, this little guy was pecking away.  With my luck, he was actually too close to focus on!  I was able to get a few pictures in focus as I backed up, including this one.
