I got these shots with a 50mm lens. The challenge here was the lighting and the movement of the eagle. With this first shot in particular, it was a question of not being quite close enough, but the water coming off the bird’s head is cool.
ISO 800 50mm f/1.8 1/2000
ISO 800 50mm f/3.2 1/400
ISO 800 50mm f/6.3 1/160
Looking at these photos, I think next time I will try shooting with a lower ISO.
Cheers!
