Eagle pics, better

Post by Annie »

Well me and Muffy went eagle hunting again today! We saw 2 adult ones and a young one.

These are the best I could get, but they aren't to bad!
They ARE a bit grainy, but I had the camera zoomed all the way in and sometimes that happens :lol:

Are the second 2 cropped or did they come straight out of the camera that way? Either way... awesome shots! My parent's got all kinds of huge scopes for bird photos, the more distance = more grain. They got hooked with snowy owls, those were some expensive birds! Perhaps bright sunlight would cut down on any grainyness you see.

Yep, they are cropped. I do know that it makes them grainy LOL.

Here is a shot of it in the tree with no cropping :)

My hubby and his son are doing the same thing with Circuit City LOL.

They want to get me a DSLR. I told him you would have to be there every day and hope to be the first when they lower them any more! Right now they are only like 10% off. Shoot they have better sales than that!

Thanks, but the pics aren't great, but hey it's an eagle :lol:
Without cropping they look a lot better, but I wanted to see him close up LOL.
I have one re sized and it came out really good, I'm using it for my desktop :)
