Great Bear Rainforest Bald Eagle Khutzeymateen
Scouting for bears in the Khutzeymateen Inlet, we spied a bald eagle in a tree at the water’s edge. With lenses pointed at the sky, we waited for him to take off. I took plenty of decent-enough shots of it sitting in the tree, but the decisive moment came after a 10-minute wait. The eagle took flight, and I was ready. I panned with his movement using my handheld 500mm lens and this was the only image I got of his journey through the trees.
