Being able to travel and experience nature while making a living is something I appreciate each and every day. Sometimes the conditions on site are really challenging with blizzards, volcanic eruptions (I have been thorough two so far), tsunami warnings(I have been though two tsunami warning periods) but every so often the conditions come together and it is just perfect. March 24, 2012 was one of those days, huge snow drifts on land, soft light, light winds, smooth glassy sea surface, good friends, and tons of eagles. It doesnt get any better than that.
Eagle Strike. Perfect wind, light, tide, surface conditions and tide. Kachemak Bay Alaska. Nikon D4 with AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II + Nikon TC-14E II1.4x TC, 1/1600 sec, f/4.0 ISO 500 in Manual mode with Auto ISO with +.7 compensation, handheld.
