Arty farty Sea eagle

Gallery: AvianPosted August 20, 2010297 views20 comments

Just returned from Norway and had some amazing encounters with sea eagles. Tried to photograph them in backlight and I must admit...it worked out fine for me.

Nikon D3s and Nikon 200-400 iso 200 1/4000 sec. -4EV f/4 full frame.

Edwin,

This is virtually perfection. Lesser photographres (myself included) wouldn't think to dial down -4 to achieve this effect. This is a great example of Fine Art wildlife photography and reminds me of an Orca image by Brad Hill where he used the same principles to really highlight the water droplets.

I'm usually not into "arty farty" shots, Edwin, but this is special I love it, and would hang it in an instant. It might even make me try something like this..........nah, who am I kiddin"
