Eagle Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This a the second series of Eagles in action. You can see more in my profile. Actually I captured this picture at one of the great lakes in Langkawi, Malaysia.

I used "multiple action" mode to capture this amazine eagle in action. I shot more than 50 times just to get this one great shot and after four hours of waiting time sitting on a boat patiencely.

Hope you like it.

That was very determined of you-waiting for four hours! but its a great photo, worth the effort. You've used the depth of field well with just the eagle in focus. I wonder if it caught its prey...

Patience is worthwhile. Good shot; sharp and good colors Well captured, regards Albrecht

Very good action shot. Not easy. You are very patient. Good colors and good composition. Well done.

Very well freezed,well captured and beautiful,Andrew!
i know that composition for this kind of subject that has a high speed is difficult,and you know that to set a main subject at center works not well in many cases like here,but just you could cropp it for making another,from top and left for the shot here.
still a nice work,has a fine dynamic and beautiful colors,too,I like it,Andrew!

Regards
M

Bonsoir Andrew,
Un instantané surprenant, un peu flou, mais belle tentative avec cette profonder de champ.
Difficile de capter les animaux en vol.
Bien vu.
Daniel.

I like the moment of capture with the tlons extended for a strike; well timed. The DOF works too. A pity there isn't another series with the bird swooping towards you.
