Bald Eagle

    An Eagle from today at Centennial Lake in Maryland!

    Nikon D70s shot in RAW, Nikkor 80mm-400mmVR w/ Circular Polarizer and a monopod. Cropped and slightly adjusted for levels, that's about it.

      Very nice, looks like the monopod certainly helped increase sharpness. Did you use VR while using the monopod? The color is rich
      & saturated, maybe I need to invest in a polarizer for my 300.

      I did use the VR, and I also had a -EV setting, and center-weighted metering...

      I saw this guy or another go for a fish, but it was pretty far off. I'm psyched that this place is just about 15 miles from me... OZONI11 and his shots turned me on to this location, woot, thanks Michael!
