mid air fight
these two were all over each other,,

today i had my camera on manual, set at f/9 iso 400 shutter 1/1600

i think the advice you guys gave me yesterday about aperture should be more than f/6.3 so i set it at 9 and i think the feather detail on all the shots i have today was much better, so, thankyou.

Love this one Wally. I actually saw a couple fights today not sure why there were more today than normal. You did get good detail and the eye is clean.

Great shot. You might have been able to go down to f8 and still get the detail. Looks like you are shooting at the same place so you can try some different settings and see what gives you the best detail and dof.

One of my favorites of your Eagle shots, Wally...good catch!

This is really wild looking. Because of the position of the heads, etc., it's almost like one giant eagle with two sets of talons.

This is a keeper, Wally!
