A lot of overcast sky and big clouds gave me this white background as I caught this Bald Eagle flying across the sky. I was setting up for a still when I saw him coming but I managed to follow him quite easily. It turned out well for such a low shutter speed.

  • Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark IV
  • Focal: 166 mm
  • Shutter speed: 0.0025 sec
  • Aperture: f/ 6.3

Very impressive capture and I like the high key background on this one.. it really makes the eagle stand out.

Super nice with no background. We can't look else where than big bird. Appréciate the description of the cation. Nice gift that you had that day.
