Golden Eagle [3]

The first 2 shots were from yesterday and the last one was from Friday. A lot of waiting for this guy but was worth it.

Good flight shots! Congrats!

Fav #1. Nice series of BIF.

Thanks you all for your kind comments.
@wahoo - it was carrying a rabbit for dinner...

Lovely shots. I don't know much about flight shots, and I don't have flight shots to show. But I believe if the first two shots had been taken split of a second earlier, before the bird passed you, they would have been perfect, with good eye contact.

Another nice set from you... for flight shots me is totally out... any skill need to take the flight shots ?

Thanks for your kind words. Yes the first 2 shots were taken in the same sequence.

Thanks Nelson.
My BIF skills are not really that good either but like anything else, lots of practices would definitely make you get the hang of it in terms of tracking, EC, shutter, what type of AF expansion etc. Shooting Eagles IF is not really that difficult compared to smaller birds like swallows or swifts which movements are not so predictable. Gulls would be a perfect target to practice if you want to start.
