Thanks Steve,
I was about 10 to12 feet away and I had my flash on a light stand to my right a little closer to the bird, I used pocket wizard triggers.

JJphoto, I did a little quick pp work on your image ... the cloning is crude but the background cleaned up with noise reduction makes it pop nicely.

I am new to this... so I hope this works. I have really been enjoying all the great shots.
I just connected the lens to my tripod when this eagle flew up. My daughter started loudly telling me there was an eagle coming. Since the camera was conected to the tripod but it was not set up yet, I picked up the camera with the tripod hanging from it and started shooting as the eagle was landing. So I guess you could consider this hand held []... but it turned out better than I thought it would.

Both were nice catches, did you use flash?
Great shot of the eagle, conropl and welcome to the forums! It would be quite quite a site to see a photo of you taking the photo, though! []
JJ - Your photos are fantastic!! Love the colors & composition!

Hey! you guys make my good day even better, thanks for all the kind words, really appreciate it!
Joel, thanks for that PP work, nice job!. I
I imagine I looked pretty ridiculous.
Here is a snow owl. I do not see to many of these, and I was lucky to get close to this one.

Conropl, welcome here!
I agree with you, it was a hand holding and I think it's harder than regular hand holding!
it's a nice capture of eagle!
PS. this is a beautiful snow owl!, I 'v been hoping that I can see them some day!
Hey Joel,
I know you don't care for a very saturated image but I thought this one needed some more punch.
[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/3125.bird.jpg[/img]
Thats the original.
[img]/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/15/4201.bird-2.JPG[/img]
And this is the edited version, I tried to keep a light hand on the saturation. But you know me![]
I used DXO and applied levels, tone curve, saturation andused HLS to selectively applysaturation to certain colors. The red border was applied when I used screan snipping tool to make a screen capture because my paid version of DXO is still in the mail and I'm to lazy to re-download and instal DXO.[:P]
What do you think?
John.
John,
You certainly made it pretty !! Nothing wrong with what you did, I like the colorful look but it is no where close to what it looks like to my eyes in real life.
I would like to try DXO sometime, I have heard some good things about it.
Joel
