Eye of the Eagle

I spent a few minutes watching this white-tailed eagle do absolutely nothing, and it was riveting. It sat on its branch at Fota Wildlife Park like it owned the place which, fair enough, when you're the largest bird of prey in Ireland, you probably do. The dark backdrop did me a favour here, throwing all the attention onto that pale, scruffy head and the hooked yellow beak. A moment later he launched into the air and flew off to another part of his enclosure.

A pair of White-tailed Eagles have moved to the bay near my home. It was a grey, rainy day and I struggled to get a sharp focus, but it was still a thrill to watch them. I really hope to get another chance for better shots before they decide to move on.

White-tailed Sea Eagles came to visit me this morning. Five of them. Mostly juveniles, enjoying having friends about before becoming full adults.

Life gets so serious as an adult.

Here's the final version. Cropped and punched in to show a little detail.

I increasingly get people commenting on my youtube videos with things like "nobody wants to edit photos anymore, just get it right in camera" or something to that effect. I don't believe in shooting JPG to begin with, and fundamentally that's on the basis that RAW files have more creative potential.

This whole idea of being militant against editing photos just seems weird to me. If you don't wanna dig deep into photography then you don't have to, but why leave aggressive comments for people who are exercising a little skill and artistic pursuit?

Sometimes the light is a but rubbish but we keep taking photos anyway, and sometimes those RAW files totally surprise me with how much you can extract from its murky depths. Here's a before and after of this White-tailed Sea Eagle, taken from a moving boat at ISO 3200 and the 500mm end of a telephoto zoom.

Hoping to see them again on a day when the sun is with us.

While waiting on the jetty this morning we got a visit from a pair of White-tailed Sea Eagles. We saw them a few times while out on the fjord, but the light was not nearly as inspiring as this moment.
