Amazing Alaska Bald Eagle Tour Images!

The 2017 Alaska Bald Eagle photography tour just concluded and what an amazing workshop it has been!! We had very diverse weather conditions, from full sun to thick snow 🙂

Two Bald Eagles banking side by side during a chase! Wow 🙂 Action photography indeed! I really came to appreciate juvenile Bald Eagles during this tour as I find their mix of colors quite fascinating.

Adult Bald Eagle taking off from a log – South of Anchorage, Alaska
ISO 800 | f/4 | 1/2000 sec. | Manual mode | AI servo rear focusing
This photograph was created with the Canon 300mm f/2.8 L IS II USM lens with a 1.4x extender and the Canon EOS 1DX mark II handheld.

During this photography workshop, we also shoot on land. This adult was nicely isolated on a tree stump and delighted me with a wonderful take off.

The overcast weather conditions that day allowed for a very high key image as above. I really enjoy those situations as you would think the bird was simply drawn into the sky. This effect requires proper over exposure in order to have the subject properly lit up, with the side effect of a nice high key background.
