I have hundreds of unpublished never seen Bald Eagle photos.  I don’t want to features Eagles for the first 6 or 7 weeks.

Something different and photographed in McLean County.

Recap of the last 3 days shooting Eagles at Lock and Dam 14 (1/1, 1/2, 1/3)

Wednesday I was told to get out of the house so Sharon could take down all the Christmas decorations.  By the time I got to L&D 14, it was a driving snow storm.  There were some eagles working, but the snow really messed with the focus and sharpness of the photos.

Thursday was the best day with a west wind which meant head on fishing!

Friday, the day started out at -9 degrees with 20 – 25MPH winds. Wind chill was -30 at least. It made the water really rough and the eagles struggled to lock onto fish. Since I already got lucky this year with several full frame fishing sequences, I am trying to focus in getting an in air fight series. Saw a few fights, but WAY out.  Every time there was 2 or 3 birds close to each other I started tracking, just practicing my framing and back button focusing.  Every once in a while my shutter finger would slip and click off a couple.

Here are some fruits of my labor from 1/1, 1/2, and 1/3.

As always C&C is welcomed, and I’ll be headed back on Saturday the 11th for Larry’s Annual cookout.

1 of 52: 2014

For the past 2 years, 104 straight weeks I have done a photo a week for my 52 week project.  The last one ended around the end of September 2013, so I decided to wait until the new year and have the next one follow the calendar year.

Not going to post them to Facebook as in the past only here.

It is kind of fun to look back onto how my style and editing has changed over 2 years.
