    This shot was taken at a Fae themed tea party put on by a faerie group of renaissance festival enthusiasts. They were playing a card game, and it required these two to link arms and drink, like newlyweds would do. I lined up directly in line with them, and lined up the shot, waiting for the right moment. Light was an interesting challenge that day, as it was the middle of the day, and outside of the park pavilion we were in was VERY bright, but inside was quite shaded. I shot this at 50mm (E

    I live near the water. As I worked in my garden, this eagle landed near the water's edge. It stayed long enough for me to grab my good old Cannon Rebel and I was able to capture several images with my 200mm lens. The bird seemed to have no fear of me. I moved slowly peacefully towards it and I ended up about 25' away. I did not want to scare it, so I only captured a few images. When I had finished, the bird remained here for quite some time. It was an amazing experience. I did crop the image to
