Had walked all over one of my usual parks that I go to and had gotten into the car about to leave, when all of a sudden, I heard a screeching just outside. So jumped out of the car with camera in hand and started looking. A gentleman parked next to me, said that he saw an eagle fly by, but guess didn't see them land. I then looked up in one of the trees that was right in front of my, and there sat the mom and a juvenile. Couldn't believe it. So started shooting and got several shots, and then tried to move around a little to get better lighting. But the lighting, just didn't cooperate, but did get some pretty decent shots. I think this is probably the closest that I have been to these guys, and really made me forgot what to do on the camera to adjust for some of the light. The excitement was almost too much. :-)
Absolutely brilliant shot and a Fav. I know what you mean by getting excited and forgetting to change settings as I do that if I see something amazing!
That's wonderful. I like the image of you being too excited to remember how to use your camera! Ha! I'd be the same if I saw an eagle....I'd probably drop my camera! She really is a beauty.
