Great Bald Eagle shots Bill! I have found myself wishing for some focal length this week as they were in our area. 420mm just doesn't cut it most of the time. We had some expert fisherman tackling a lake a little ways down the road so I thought I would stop by for an hour or so. Here is what I came out with.

Thanks Jason...they've been putting on quite the show for us the last month. Some nice captures yourself.....more length always helps. :D

Pair of Hooded mergansers.....they're a lot faster than flying ABEs and skittish.

Nice shot Joel. I like how there is some vignetting to emphasize the subject, is this post processing or just exaggerating the already present vignetting of the lens?

Here is a another one by me.

Thanks John.....I used a filter in Nik Color Efex Pro that allows you to lighten the center and darken around the edges. It also allows you to position the lightened area and control it's size. It's a little different than just a vignette.
