The Veteran 11_11_05.jpg

This is my first Bald Eagle of the season. Kind of nice to see on Veteran's Day. Sure wish he had picked a slightly cleaner place to perch.

I picked up a new pop up blind today. It is perfect for two photographers and their gear http://www.pbase.com/slowpokebill/image/52118025

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM
1/160s f/5.6 at 600.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great shot , I always seem to blow out the head detail or else lose detail in the body. This is perfect.

Great shot. I was so focused on the eagle's face that I didn't even notice the branches at first.
Thanks for sharing the info about your blind. I am envious of your great gear.

Wow! Beautiful pose, great clarity, nice DoF. Perfect except maybe for the branch sticking out of his head.
