Eagles in Early Light

image

Not quite dawn, actually. We (it was my wife’s first successful trip to see the eagles at Roger’s Pond) had to wait for the sun to get up over the trees, but still very early. Not your typical Digiscoped shot, either…but I wanted both eagles in the frame. The 15x setting on the ZEISS DiaScope 65FL’s Vario eyepiece, and zooming up just far enough to eliminate vignetting on Canon SD320HS’ zoom gave me about 750mm equivalent…and kept both eagles in. As it turns out, this image is as much about the bare limbs of the old maple tree against the backdrop of pines. The eagles are ornamental 🙂

Scope and camera as above. ISO 400 @ 1/200th. Processed in Snapseed and Photo Editor by dev.macgyver on the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014.
