I am having a great time with my 3 clients in Alaska on my bald eagle photography tour.  They are learning how to be real wildlife photographers.  The weather conditions are making it challenging to shoot.  There is a foot of snow on the ground and the skies are very dark.  There also aren’t as many eagles around this year.  However, between my 2 cameras, I still captured over 1000 frames today.  I have yet to capture a great eagle in flight shot, but I am trying.  So far, this is my favorite image.  This eagle posed for me for almost 20 minutes, which was enough time for me to get into a position for a clean bokeh background.  To complete the shot, all I had to do was wait for him to disapprovingly glare at me.
