Bald Eagle, Green Island Road, Iowa
We are in full preparation for our next adventure but I still try to find the time for a blog post from last weekend. While approaching this Bald Eagle I made a few ”safety shots” from a larger distance. The eagle seemed to ignore me and I moved the car closer to the tree where the bird was perched. This happened very slowly and my movements with the camera are done in almost slow motion so the bird doesn’t see me as a thread. When I was right below the eagle it was easy to compose and fill the frame while handholding the camera.
