    Default Not a Homer Bald Eagle

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This Glaucous-winged Gull image was created near Homer, AK with the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II lens with the 1.4X III TC (hand held at 280mm) and the EOS-1D Mark III. ISO 400: 1/2000 sec. at f/8 in Manual mode. From shore. The exposure is my standard bright whites in bright sun EXP. That is Mount Illiamna in the background, the white volcano on our left.

    I like the forward wing position here and the level of detail and brightness on the underside of his left wing (reflection of light off the side of his body?) Glad you pointed out that it was a volcano in the BG, I thought it was a cloud.

    That was Ernie, the gull. Great shot. Brings back fond memories.

    Illiamna, with a fog bank in front of it :)

    Hi Artie, love the background, shadow on the wing, wing position, dangling feet, flared tail. The side lighting here creates a very nice 3D effect! simple bird...great shot!

    Artie, you pulled everything together in this image: gull, sea, headland, distant volcano. I'd now recognize that spot if I saw it with my own eyes, yet the BG does not overpower the bird.

    Like the position of the wings and the landmarks in the background.
