MILL POND


A few of you have asked to see Mill Pond.
Here it is as it was photographed at sunset this evening.
Earlier today I went by and there were eagles watching over this little island.
I can say without any modesty that my photos of the eagles were horrid.
Its too bad because I NEVER get to see eagles here so I missed a huge opportunity.


For those of you from around these parts, no, I did not take part in the eagle watch today.
It was pure coincidence that I found the eagles as I did this morning.

Canon EOS 5D
1/500s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Stunning shot in fabulous light! Love how the white of the ice takes your eye across the image to the perfectly captured swan. V.

Are you kidding me? Is there any style/subject matter that you can't do better than the rest of us? Wow. V

This is an awesome shot! Absolutely perfect with the swan flying away...breathtaking! V
Too bad you didn't like your eagle shots. I've only seen one in the wild and that shot pretty much sucked. This is a gorgeous one, though, Liza!
Guest 12-Feb-2007 01:50
Gorgeous shot!
