Bald Eagles - day 1

I took today off and drove to Moline Il for the weekend for a seminar on photographing Bald Eagles. During the winter they fly south from northern Minnesota to winter in places along the Mississippi River where the dams and locks keep some of the river open so the eagles can fish. I got here early enough to see some eagles but of course I was so excited to see them I just grabbed my camera and started shooting without checking that all the settings were what I wanted, so most of the photos were really bad. I managed to clean up and sharpen a few of them enough to be somewhat presentable. Hopefully I learned a big lesson and will do much better tomorrow.


















more Key West

  In addition to the sunset cruise we took a snorkeling and kayaking cruise. Of course it was took windy to snorkel but we did get to kayak....
