Saw 3 of them today in central Connecticut. Never gets old.
About 2 years ago, a juvenile baldie landed on a pier 4.0 meters from me (according to my camera sensor).

I thought the dang thing was gonna rip me to shreds. But it just looked me over for about 10 seconds and then rendezvoused with an older eagle over the Connecticut River.
- munificent 2y agoThat focus is crisp!
- busyant 2y agoSurprisingly, it's not that crisp. I was on the pier at sunrise (probably about 5:30 AM) and the light was LOW, so I had to boost the ISO a lot. Ironically, the bird was almost too close because the minimum distance of my telephoto lens was about 4 meters.
- munificent 2y agoBoosting the ISO will increase noise, but it won't have any effect on focus. Of course, low light means a wider aperture and a shallow depth of field, but as long as the subject is right at the focal distance, that won't matter much either. There is definitely visible noise, but you nailed the focus.
