Graham 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2007 Hi Bazz, I truly enjoyed looking at your bird photos on your website. Looks like we have much in common, sure hope to see you around. What type of camera and lenses do you use? I have a Nikon D200 and for birds use a 70-200 f/2.8 and a 300 f/4. I love raptors as well, and have been thinking of driving to Big Bear Lake, about 80 miles from home, because there are several pairs of bald eagles nesting for there this winter. I'm just dying to get some eagle shots. Cheers, Graham Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bass 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2007 Hi Graham! Thanx =) and yeah haha we got a few things here in common!! Shooting raptors can be magic if you get lucky.. and eagles are hard to get a good shoot on.. at least here in sweden ^^ If i were you id drive right away for those birds ^^ When i shoot birds i use my Canon 30D together with my 400 5.6L. A fantastic birdcombo!! But ive also taken a few good shoots with the 70-300IS These are 400 5.6L shoot (great lens) And this is a 70-300IS shoot (not so expensive yet pretty sharp) and also got image stabilizator Regards Bazz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kargen 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2007 THere are Golden Eagles and all kinds of Hawks just two miles South of where I am now, but we still have about three feet of snow on the ground preventing me from getting to them. So for now I have to be happy with the little birds that I can reach. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caddis16 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2007 This is not my pic. I was reading this thread and tried to get the photographer to post it. I guess the forum we are on together has faulty e-mail. So I am posting this for Flats Stalker of Colorado. Hope you don't mind Flats... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graham 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2007 Wow, all of these new bird photos are GREAT!!! I've been trying to keep man made things out of my photos, but the rows of birds on the wires is just so cool, especially the open beaks, looks like the birds are a noisy bunch.

Carlin 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2007 Phenomenal pictures guys! I'm working my way into the photography thing, but in the meantime, here is my favorite eagle shot taken by my Mom who is a talented amateur photographer. Sorry it is low res, but you get the picture. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2007 AWESOME shot Chris. Are the eagles in your neck o the woods in August? I haven't taken any eagle shots yet, and seeing some bald eagles would be a thrill. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlin 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2007 If you want, we could see so many eagles you would never want to see 'em again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2007 I have a feeling fishing with you in AK in August will be better than our trip last November, and it's hard to top that trip. I think 2007 will be a great year!!!! Your framed steelhead photo is being shipped tomorrow. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isonychia 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 OK, I've seen so much bird porn that I have to get into the act! This is my all-time-best golden eagle shot. John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Graham 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 Wow, awesome shots! The details on the eagle are excellent. Is that a wild bird? My hard drive has swollen in the past couple of months with bird shots, but I still haven't got the osprey taking a fish from the water yet. Figures, the one shot I want I just can't get. I have a few but not close enough to be worthy of posting anywhere. Bummer is, feels like summer is here already, has been in the upper 90's the past couple of days, and with only 2.6" of rain since spring of 06, the landscape never turned green this winter. I hope this doesn't drive the birds away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
