Eagle up close and personal 5DIV@1200mm

[Joe Subolefsky]

Another shot from the other day in the hide. Can't see the carcass but wanted to see what detail it could still get with a 2x.

Canon 5DIV with 600II+2X extender. Raw converted in DPP. Then just a sliver taken off the top and sharpened,resized in PS. ISO1600,f8@2500 sec. Thanks for looking and all the input on the last frame.

Great looking close up of this eagle. Nice details and colors and I like the BG. By the size of that big upper mandible it looks like a juvie baldie to me. Nice capture.

[arash_hazeghi]

you are right Dave, I thin it's a bald eagle my bad

[Joe Subolefsky]

Thanks guys.

On the saturation I've now added +1 on the saturation to the DPP preset I'm using for the MKIV as I've had to add it to every single file so far.

Yes it's a bald, I always just look to see it the feathers go all the way down to the talons did not know you could go by the mandible. Thanks for that info.

I only wish the pale band in the BG running behind the neck was not there, otherwise a fantastic vertical portrait of this awesome fella. I love the ruffled feathers behind the head.
