Eagle

May 5, 2007


Sometimes we are able to get a special picture quite by accident. Such is the case with the attached photo. I was walking along the beach above the high tide line looking for clams. I had my camera a ready in case I saw anything that caught my fancy.

As I was walking I heard the call of an Eagle behind me. I raised my camera just as the Eagle shot past. There was no time to aim the camera all I did was point it and pressed the button. In the next couple of seconds the Eagle was gone.

I was astounded when I looked at the picture ......... Everything was just perfect as I had the camera set on 1/1500 of a sec exposure time and the lens was set for an object further than 50 feet. All that was because I had just taken a picture or a moving flower [that picture came out poorly, but this one was wonderful]
