Bald Eagle on Final Approach in Snow

Christopher Dodds May 3, 2023

A very simple and minimalist image of a Bald Eagle landing on a stick in a brief snowfall during my Eagles Galore Workshop in Alaska from March 2022. Look at those talons! I see this as a big print - smile.

The exposure in the snow was much easier than most photographers think: Set the desired shutter speed (1/5,000s to freeze the action), set the desired f-stop (wide open to make the subject pop), and then fill the viewfinder with white snow and adjust the ISO until the meter shows plus 1 & 2/3 stop - it’s that simple!

Only two spots left for my March 10-14, 2024 Eagles Galore workshop. Learn more here!
