My first time out with the "new" Canon 50D, and I'm very happy.
This was a hand held,"assurance" shot before I really got set up to photograph the subject.
However, as soon as I clicked the shutter for one single shot, the nervous Eagle bolted. Because he flew away from (not toward) me into the sun, the following flight shots were merely "butt silhouettes".
Working with difficult lighting yesterday, I was then glad that I had made sure the sun was at a good angle before trying this portrait. This was a great test run on the new camera. BTW, I am also delighted to see the Eagles are now starting to migrate through Missouri on their way South.
