012912 More Eagles From my spot

12 years 2 months ago #195226 by Provo
Well in continuation to my previous post I went out with the wife.
We Spotted the eagles across the lake the goal was to get a close up shot
but primarly that was put on the back burner I really wanted to show my buttercup
the eagles I told her to take out the binoculars and look up on the tree across the lake.

Well while showing her the eagles I wasn't full prepped and something told me they where about to leave so I switched to manual mode but I forgot I had the stupid 2sec mirror lock up delay mode on so this is all I managed to get.





This is a heavy crop




Red Tail Hawk shot out of passenger side of the car LOL


This is the American Robin, Shot with the Better Beamer mounted on the

Beautiful birds, I'm glad you got to see them again and show them to your wife too. lol, I shoot out of the car window all the time, it's kinda nice to have something to set the camera on-that sucker gets heavy. Looks like you had a good day Provo, good shootin'! :)

Wow !! Great shots,

You will not be judged as a photographer by the pictures you take, but by the pictures you show.
