Hi All

Been a while since I posted here, but shot this bird at the local park bird display. Can't remember its name - from India and "Bamber Eagle" rings a bell.
The bird did a runner - straight up and away. Guy had to stop the show and shot off in hot pursuit.
Only had my nifty, so heavy crop and shopped out the jesses.

Liked the look though - Thought I'd share.

Looks great! Well, except for the slight sharpening halo, which is a little disturbing as it's in contrast compared to the clouds.
The contrast makes it look nicely dramatic

Top shot Chuck, good exposure

at first I thought it was a Bateleur eagle

Hi Dave
Now that sounds more like what the guy said - too damned lazy to look it up.

Cheers Slapo
Yeh, there's a lot not right in the shot, pity though, I like it anyway.

Nicely caught............I'd be really happy with this shot given the circumstances you describe

I wonder if he got away...............

Cheers crusher.
Heard the bird did the same last week at another show.
