Eagle

BALD EAGLE OFF BADDECK, CAPE BRETON ISLAND, NOVA SCOTIA, SEPTEMBER 12, 2012

Pentax K-5
Pentax DA 55-300 at 300mm
1/800 sec. f13
ISO 800

Another in a series of eagle photographs taken from a sailboat in Bras d'Or Lake, this one was deliberately shot at a smaller than usual aperture (f13 instead of f8) in order to maximize depth of field while risking lens diffraction that would degrade the image. It seemed to have turned out OK. Best viewed by clicking to larger size.
