Yesterday was a slow day out at the reservoir. There were some bald eagles, but they were
staying put, and were to far away for a shot.
Today however was much better. At
one point there were eight eagles in one tree together. They were also much more active and landing
on the ice. However the super bright
light was an issue. A few clouds would
have been good today. The sunlight was
causing problems not only overexposing the eagles, but the ice in the
background. The lighting was just so
harsh not many of the photographs were coming out. Not sure if I could have done anything better
but there is always next time.
The
bitter cold was the worst part of today.
The wind chill was in the negative thirties and my fingers were
freezing. I do were gloves but they have
open fingers to allow me to grip the camera and to focus the lens. This weekend looks bad for photography. There is a winter storm and ice coming so I’m
not sure if I’ll be able to photograph anything.
It will give me the chance to look at the
images I took today though and post them.
Hopefully some of them will come out and not be overexposed. The photographs on this post are more from a
couple days ago and are more or less a sequence as the eagle came in for a
landing. I hope everyone enjoys
them. Feel free to comment. Until next time.
