If you enjoy photographing eagles or have always dreamed about doing so I have some great news for you. This last Bald Eagle trip was unbelievable, in fact the opportunities were better than any of my previous trips to Homer and Kachemak bay in the last five years. You can see some images from this trip in my latest images gallery: http://www.robertotoole.com/galleries/latest-images/

The trip went so well that I will be setting up a summer and  fall Bald Eagle workshop series and I am finalizing pricing and other details right now. Send me an  email or use the contact info or form on the right side of the page right away to be placed on the interest list to be the first to receive final details.

For the three images above a 70-200 on a 1.3x-1.6x body of a 100-300 on a full frame body was just about right. A 500 or 600 was useful for tight portraits but was overkill for flight. All of the images are only very lightly cropped to fit the screen format.
