Title: * Images Fixed* Adult Bald Eagle
Post by: Paul O'Toole on February 10, 2019, 05:40:13 PM
I shot these yesterday downtown Kingston along the lake shore. Haven't been able to photograph this species a couple of years. Saw the pair perched a ways away and waited them out for about an hour and it paid off.

** Adjusted lighting on these.

Good luck comes with good patience and good thinking.
A fabulous set of photos with superlative lighting and therefore the detail that comes with it.
These couldn't be any better if they were taken within the controlled realm of a rapture sanctuary.
Kingston is certainly becoming the birding capital of Southern Ontario or perhaps it is more a reflection
of the skill and perspicacity of the photographer.
I thought you had gone down south and yet here you are with another photo treat; or do you have a camera
equipped drone controlled by an e-link via cellphone from the balmy islands. A joystick in one hand and a tall
cool drink in the other.

Thanks for the kind comments. We had planned on going south buy my wife's Fibromyalgia has been causing some problems so travel out of the county is not a good idea for now.
