Taking the camera off of auto and shooting Aperture Priority is giving me better results on the whites and exposures....also started shooting in RAW is giving me more to work with
This is the Eagle that had the broken beak which you can see has healed well. hand-held 500mm Sigma Bigma. I asked him to smooth out his ruffled chest feathers and he did not answer. go figure
I love the contrast with him against that blue sky. They never listen to me either when I ask them to move out further on the branch or fly by again so I can get a better shot.
excellent! could be a little brighter - the colors seem just a tad dark to me - but otherwise superb! wish i could get one to pose like that! how far away were you, and what lens did you use?

I like the first one, the Eagle is not centered but the branch up the right side looks like it belongs in the shot, so it balances out the shot, and the dark richness tells its own story.

The camera doesn't matter in this case, it's the lens. He's using a 500 mm, which is a very long (and very expensive) telephoto lens. They make them for both Canon and Nikon, and they'll work on all but the basic models of both brands.
If he's using the one I think he is, you probably won't be buying one any time soon, and neither will I for that matter, since they are quite high priced...
i want to get a camera that will take closer picture like that. last night at wannacut lake i took a picture of a eagle with the camera i have now and it didnt work so i need to get a camera that can do closer up and get one that has lens on them
Penny, there are two parts to a DSLR camera. The camera body and the lens.
The Camera Body Chito is using probably cost him anywhere from $1,000 to $3,000 (or more). But the lens he's using also cost him another $1,000 or more.
