Canon 1D Mark III
Canon 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L @ 235mm - Handheld
1/400 sec @ f/5.0 ISO 1600
This was taken late in the day after it had clouded over. So the light was much less than "optimal". I shot this at ISO 1600 and hoped for the best. I did a bit of noise reduction in Lightroom.
Let me know what yall think of this one. Thanks for looking!
Beautiful shot, Rick. Looked at your gallery-- lots of good captures. I love the one with the 2 raccoons up in the trees looking down at the moose. You had great light for the eagle. Looks like a fun outing. Was this on a photo tour or just the regular tram ride?

Beautiful photo of a beautiful animal. This is amazing for ISO 1600.

Rick, excellent shot and incredible detail at 1600. Was this the beta lightroom 3? How do you like the NR tools in it?
Funny you should ask that question David! This was post-processed in LR 2.6.
But I am spending time in LR 3 beta and beta 2. The initial beta was both interesting and a let down. It added a fair amount of noise to images with no way to remove said noise. Beta 2 fixed this but not until one understood how the new noise reduction works. And that isn't documented well yet. Now that I have spent a couple evenings fiddling with both sharpening and noise reduction in LR beta 2 I am MUCH happier with it! I have a B&W image of a rose that I will post up that was processed in LR beta 2.
