fotografr Posted August 20, 2007 Share #4 Posted August 20, 2007 Wonderful shot, but how the hell did you get close enough to do this with a 90??? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam2000 Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share #5 Posted August 20, 2007 Wonderful shot, but how the hell did you get close enough to do this with a 90??? Thanks guys for your comments ...... the eagle and deer was shot at an ecology center on the West end of the island of Montreal near Ste-Anne de Bellevue. The Mule Deer was also taken with the AA Summicron ELCAN F2 lens...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted August 20, 2007 Share #6 Posted August 20, 2007 Jacques - A raptor expert friend tells me that the eagle is positioned as if to take off in the next moment. She also is impressed with the photo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam2000 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share #7 Posted August 21, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Stuart ....... up close an eagle is very very impressive and powerful bird!

PhotoArchival Posted August 24, 2007 Share #12 Posted August 24, 2007 Great Shot and wonderful clarity. Lovely colors too! The eagle does look like it's about to take off, or eying the next lunch Amado Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samwells Posted August 24, 2007 Share #14 Posted August 24, 2007 Jacques - Wonderful hunched, predatory look to the eagle, full of concentration...superb catch. cheers: Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam2000 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share #15 Posted August 24, 2007 The eagle had made several loud strident sounds..... enough to get your hairs to rise! Thank you gentlemen for your kind remarks..... glad you enjoyed this shot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albert Posted August 24, 2007 Share #16 Posted August 24, 2007 Jacques, Great shot. It must be fun, and rewarding, to express your skills and talent through that beautiful piece of equipment. Sorry it took me so long to comment.....Al Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam2000 Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share #17 Posted August 24, 2007 Al....... your right ..... I have had many cameras in my career as photographer.......the difference with the M8 from all others is that I carry it everywhere I go...... it is small, just the right weight and balance with the handle attached at all times. I do enjoy my first time "M" and do not plan to go back to any DSLR. Thanks for commenting on this shot! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artichoke Posted August 25, 2007 Share #18 Posted August 25, 2007 but the eagle is an exceptional capture I hate to sound incredulous, but the DOF you got with the 90 cron shot wide open is remarkable the eyes are tack sharp as are the feathers on the bird's chest ...the size of the subject helps ...I imagine you were a few feet from this bird (a very confident critter to allow you to get so close) fine bokeh as is to be expected from this combination Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam2000 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Share #19 Posted August 25, 2007 I think I took at least 7 to 10 shots at F2 before I got this one right on...... this is one reason I sold this lens this week to replace with the AA Summicron 75 F2 lens it is easier to focus up close. I was about 6 to 8 feet away...... remember I was in an ecology center were there is always visitors to this site. Thanks for your comment Artichoke.....
