Banking Bald Eagle

[Alan Murphy]

Bald Eagle

Kachemak Bay, Alaska

D800, 300/2.8, ISO 640, f4, 1/4000, baited

As the light dropped, the mountains turned a rose color. My participants and I got into position to capture the eagles as they banked and turned in the sweetest light.

Really beautiful eagle scape mate. Congrats!
Just a wonderful image.

I've used your suggested baitfish floating method with some success locally.

Dramatic pose with outstretched wings and over the shoulder look. Dramatic backdrop and light.

Really like this Alan. The eagle looks awesome against the BG. Very well done and thanks for sharing this.
