Eagles & Salmon

In 2011, photographs made with the 1DMK4 in combination with 800.0mm f/5.6 lens have been added. Photographs in this gallery were principally made in the winters of 04-10 in natural settings in and around Brakendale, along the Squamish, Manquam, and Cheakamus Rivers in British Columbia, Canada. During winters Bald Eagles gather on salmon rivers to feed on an abundance of spawned out salmon. Equipment: 20D.-40D, and 1DMkIIN & 1DMkiV bodies - Canon 400 mm 5.6 L, 500 mm f/4, and 800.0 mm f/5.6 lens, w/wo 1.4 tele converter. Landscape photographs of the area were made with the Canon 17-40 mm L lens. Vote :-)

The attention to detail is simply outstanding in this Gallery, it is what the rest of us strive for.
I had the privilege to meet up with Norman again at the Wharf in Salmon Arm BC, whilst trying to capture Ospreys in flight, we spent a happy hour or two comparing cameras and lenses. Norman is a person that is extremely generous and forthcoming with his wealth of knowledge and is happy to share some of his many ideas and techniques. Thank you Norman for all you help.

Along with the already long list of things I must do in my life, I think I'm going to have to also become a poet, to be able to put into words what I think about these images. My normal vocabulary doesn't seem sufficient at the moment. You've given us an unparalled look at these magnificent creatures, so thank you for that . . and set the bar extremely high for all of us with respect to the excellence you display with the technical side of photography.

Norman, I had wanted to post an appreciation of this exceptional gallery for a long, long time, but I was so impressed that I couldn't figure how to start.
This was a stunning effort of yours (although a very enjoyable one, I would guess), resulting in a fine balance between highly impressive eagle shots, majestic mountain landscapes and haunting salmon carcasses . You have recorded the natural cycle of life in an unforgettable manner, with careful, perfectly timed shots, edited to perfection. Thank you so much for sharing this on pbase! :o)
