Sushi, yum yum! 16-ConowingoDec10-7087 by Sam Posten III, on Flickr

Plan a trip, I've got a guest bedroom!

Overall pretty happy with today's take at Conowingo Dam! 16-ConowingoNov-6917 by Sam Posten III, on Flickr More! Full album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kadath/albums/72157672790983584

Best dam day ever. Dozens of birds, weather was perfectly warm, tons of feeding, sunglight was spot on. Sneak peak at my set, this is nowhere close to my favorite shot from today! 16-ConowingoNov-6546 by Sam Posten III, on Flickr D500 and 80-400 at 400. Cropped.

Tomorrow is Conowingo Bald Eagle day at the dam! 15-ConowingoNov1--6371 by Sam Posten III, on Flickr

I keep hoping to hit that lottery, somehow I never seem to buy the tickets tho! =) Thanks for the kind words tho. I wish I had more time to spend there.

Terrific Vid: I didn't get there as much as I'd have liked this year, and I didn't get a super take out of the days I did go. I guess these were about my best: 14-ConowingoJan-6059 by Kadath, on Flickr 14-ConowingoNov-0905 by Kadath, on Flickr 14-ConowingoJan-6024 by Kadath, on Flickr...

Oh ok

Not sure I understand Tony sorry.

Yes it is. PM me if you want a tour guide!!!

I have not. Planning on checking that and Susquehanna State Park out this summer!

Plan a trip to Conowingo MD for a November of your choosing, closer than Alaska =)

Thanks for the comments Scott. Shooting these guys is a challenge for sure. The problem is they are literally spinning circles 100 feet in the air above you changing the lighting conditions with every degree of turn. And it's fading light. And the lens weighs eight pounds and the camera...

Full set is now up: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kadath/sets/72157633245862155/with/8688813039/ A couple samples: 13-ConowingoApril-0075 by Kadath, on Flickr 13-ConowingoApril-9976 by Kadath, on Flickr I re-calibrated the colors, let me know how these look on your guys machines please!

More to come when I get my calibration reset, but so far I'm liking it. Handholding is tough, and you can see some blur in this shot even at the high shutter speed and VR engaged. VR might be a mistake with birds, still exploring. 13-ConowingoApril-0045 by Kadath, on Flickr

Soon!

This machine shoots eagles! :) 80-400vr2 by Kadath, on Flickr Finally replacing my 1976 era vivitar 400mm manual focus lens wirh something a bit more modern... Plan to hit the Dam Sunday!

I chose the shot above as the cover of the yearly book I make for my family via Blurb. I cannot recommend Blurb more highly, this is the fifth year I have made a Blurb book and their software gets better and better all the time, and now I can make absolutely giant picture books with stunningly...

Apparently November is the best time for Eagle Spotting here.

Thanks Guys! Christopher, it's the south side, just west of 95. Take 95 over the Susquehanna and instead of turning east for Havre De Grace turn west. http://www.harfordbirdclub.org/conowingo.html Look for the intersection of Shuresville Road and Shures Landing Road on google...
