You certainly did a great job on the metering Brian. Fantastic detail in the black feathers. A beautiful shot. It ought to be a postage stamp! #4869302Brian K. Upton October 01, 2007
Thank you Joe, Shelley and Kate. Bald eagles can be a little tricky on exposure with the dark bodies and white heads. Just remember to expose for the most important highlight in the image...and of course an over cast day helps as well ;) #4869332Ellen Hodges October 01, 2007
