Eagle at takeoff










BALD EAGLE NEAR JUNEAU, ALASKA, JUNE 24, 2010

All photos Pentax K20D
SMC Pentax-DA 55-300 at 300mm
1/1000 sec. f8
ISO 800

On a dark, foggy morning aboard a rolling and pitching photo safari boat, I boosted the camera sensitivity to an ISO of 800, risking a bit of noise in the result, hoping to capture in sharp relief the flight of an eagle from its perch. A little work with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 reduced the noise to an acceptable level, at least for me.
