 I rented an 80-400 Zoom lens for the weekend for my wife. On Sunday night she was busy so I went out to take a few pics. I went into the woods to get a few pictures of some birds when I saw the Bald Eagle soaring in the sky. He was fairly low when I took the handheld picture.
I "warmed" and sharpened the picture. I don't know how to use photoshop very well yet. Resizing it removes alot of detail.
I love this picture and just wanted to share.
I hope you like it too.
