[Leica] IMG: Bald Eagle

[grduprey at mchsi.com (grduprey at mchsi.com)]

Doug,

Looks pretty good to me, Although the background is blown out quite a bit.  
If you want we have quite a few Bald Eagles this time of year that are easy 
to shoot.  That 280/4 would be just about right, although the 560 would work 
nicely also.  We are in Texas right now, but will be heading home in about a 
week, and plan to spend quite a bit of time this year with the 560 Telyt and 
the R8/DMR.

By the way we will be in your neck of the woods at the end of May and first 
part of June, any good shooting then?

Cheers,
Gene

Yesterday at Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge:

http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/accipitridae/baea02.html

technical stuff: R8/DMR, 560mm f/6.8 Telyt, moderate crop, twigs cloned out 
of UL corner.  Heavy overcast light.  Shutter speed was WAAAY too slow, I 
was using my truck as a blind & I wedged myself into an immovable position 
between the truck's passenger seat and the dashboard.  Hand-held with 
shoulder stock.  All comments welcome.
