:Hmmmm. How is that 1.4x on your 400 f/5.6 working for you?

A "manual" pain in the butt. Maybe some day I'll own a 400 f/2.8L IS
and then it'll really shine. Of course, it works great with the Super
70-200
f/2.8L, giving me a nice 280mm at the long end. This will be useful
for
shooting golf tournaments where 200mm isn't quite long enough and
400mm is too much.

Focus just needed to be closer to the eyes, then it would be a super
marvelous photo, as it is it is just a marvelous photo. Of course
focusing closer to the eyes would soften the wings, then we would
complain about that. The monday morning quarterback in me would say
drop the speed one stop, increase the aperture. But I'm not the one
with this pic in my viewfinder. Nice try, just won't make National Geo.

So I am supposed to manually focus on the eyes of a bird flying toward
me 200 yards away instead of the wings?

At that distance and at 560mm, f/8 the depth of field is about 100
feet.

Can you achieve any lightness? That pic is so dark.

I thought you'd say something like that. :) 

I was up in Chattanooga in January. It's much nicer than it was when I was
in school there.

Any lighter and the whites would be totally blown. You might need to adjust
your monitor because the exposure looks dead on to me.

How can you tell from such a small sized photo? The eyes and beak look as
sharp as the rest of the eagle to me.

Driving along the coast of Western Australia, I spotted a dead kangaroo on
the side of the road with a large bird on top, I thought it was a crow, but
as I got closer I could see that it was one of the largest wedgetail eagles
I had ever seen and the only one I had seen in the wild, I braked up the
road and did a U turn to come back and get some shots of it. Unfortunatley
while I changed lenses it and its mate (which was hiding a bit further off
the road) took off and I didnt get a shot.

Moral: Change lenses away from the subject as not to scare them off.

I was still happy to see such beautiful creatures in the wild though.

Great shot Bret, thanks for sharing.

E-mail back to me and I'll tell you where you can often see a mongo
wegie and its mate. In Perth too!!
