Maine! September marsh
There may not be as many birds around now that September has arrived in Southern Maine, but the cooling days almost make up for it in the beauty of the landscape. This is along the Bridle Path in Kennebunk, Maine, just on the sea side of Rt. 9. Sony a5100 with the E 10-18 f4 zoom at 15mm equivalent. Superior Auto with Landscape Scene Mode. Processed in Photomator.
Maine! Eagle on the river
Bald Eagle: York County Maine, USA, September 2024 — It is rare to see the Eagle down near the water like this…still way too far away, but a more interesting angle than where it usually sits, high in pine on the steep slope above the river. This angle really brings out the size of the beak and the talons! Sony a6700 with the Tamron 50-400 Di iii zoom at 600mm equivalent. Program mode with my custom bird and wildlife modifications. Highlight metering in very difficult light (Eagles are about the most difficult bird to expose). Heavily cropped and processed in Photomator with some retouching of highlights in TouchRetouch. Someday I hope to see this bird on my side of the river 🙂
