ok, so I spent this morning outside. I went to a lake not too terribly far from my place. There are usually many bald eagles around the outflow of the lake. Today was no different. I took my camera hoping to to get some good photos. Well, heres what I learned....I'm a terrible photographer.
Everyone of the pictures I took has significant issues. I know what my issues were, I think. One is that I need to clean that lens....bad. I have so many spots that even had I got any good pics I probably wouldn't even share them just because of the spots. My other issue was a choice I made on one of the settings. I thought it was light enough that I could shoot at 100. Well, because it wasn't, I had a slow shutter speed. Because I was using such a big lens, it was difficult to keep it steady with the longer exposures.
O well, I guess I learned something and next time I'll know better. And it was fun to just watch them fly....
