Bald Eagle Portrait on black

Christopher Dodds January 21, 2023

Here is another portrait of a Bald Eagle made with the Sony FE 100-400mm f/5.6 G Master lens at 400mm. The dark background makes for a much more dramatic image :)

Atlantic puffin in flight

An Atlantic puffin returns to its burrow after bathing in The Gulf of the Saint Lawrence. As I tracked the Puffins flying back to the cliff face, I would stop once they entered the shade of the cliff. This is the last frame before the puffin entered the shade and I was lucky to get a near-perfect wing position and the spotlight effect - smile!

Here’s another Crested Auklet in flight a la Sony 200-600mm lens and Alpha 1 camera. This combo is such a bomb that I am seriously considering leaving my prime 600/4 at home next year. Getting tired of Crested Auklet pics?

Here’s another from the cliffs of Saint Paul Island. I always make a point of practicing shooting full frame verticals when it is windy and there are loads of subjects :)
