After we buried my mom yesterday on my way to visit with the friend who was like another daughter to Mom I saw what looked like blackbirds hassling a vulture, which seemed really odd, then I realized that it was a bald eagle. I pulled over, grabbed the K-3 with a bigma and grabbed some shots. It was set at Av, ISO 100 f/10, bracketing 0 and -2 stops. Lesson learned: don’t photograph birds in flight locked at ISO 100. In theory this would be a good use of user modes, though I could have just gone to Tav at a higher shutter speed.
On a larger scheme these aren’t great photos, but they are some of my best bald eagle photos (especially in flight) so far. https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72157718833806563 As an aside, it occurred to me that bald eagle would actually be a better name for vultures than birds that look like Edgar Winter with wings. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
