This damned rock has bamboozled me once again but this time it did it with my most desired photographic quarry. I call it “frustration rock” for very good reason.
Flawed images can still be of value to the photographer – they can teach us new lessons or remind us of old ones previously learned but temporarily forgotten in the heat of the moment.
I wasn’t expecting to get close to a Golden Eagle while pulling a camping trailer behind my pickup but that’s exactly what happened early yesterday morning as I was leaving Wayne County on my way home.
Golden Eagles are my #1 photographic quarry. I’d rather get a magnificent flight shot of one of these regal birds than any other species I can think of and that includes other raptors like Snowy Owls and Gyrfalcons.
For the past several weeks I’ve sporadically been photographing Golden Eagles on Antelope Island. Yesterday morning was the most fun (and the most disappointing) time with them yet.
Please do not pin my images on Pinterest, Tumblr or any other pinning site or social media or use them for anything else without my express permission (and that includes using them as models for paintings, drawings or tattoos etc.).
