[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 27449, member: 654"] This is the second shot that placed in my photo clubs recent competition. It won honorable mention in open class out of 39 entries. This is an entirely different style of shooting from that used with the RR shot. The RR shot (posted yesterday) was a completely planned shot. This one is a shot of opportunity, see the shot, frame it and shoot. The camera settings are pre-set for the conditions, no filter, hand held. It was taken from the deck of a 125ft. twin hull ship while cruising around Gull Island off the coast of Homer Alaska (Kenai Peninsula). A bald Eagle had landed on the island and set off a massive flight of most of the birds nesting there. These are Kittiwakes (Gulls) and they are on the eagles menu. The birds take flight like this to create mass confusion and prevent the eagle from being able to pick out any one for a meal. For the birds it really is organized chaos.
