Motorcycle trip

Fri Nov 28, 2008, 9:25 PM
Well as you knew of my prior entry...I went on a motorcycle trip. I was out there for two weeks and went through the following parks: Grand Teton, Yellowstone and Glacier National Park. Simply put, it was amazing.

I saw deer, antelope, rabbits, elk, bison, a cow moose, a couple of foxes, big horn sheep, eagles, and multiple other small animals and birds. I have posted all of my photos from my trip which actually is quite a substantial part of my gallery. These photos are in order of the days and with a couple photos exception they are in order too. I can imagine it was overwhelming with me posting so many at times, but I appreciate any and all feedback I get on photos. I would actually like to hear a bit more on them for tips, etc as not many people commented.

Everyone has a different eye which always helps for the next shot. I learned alot about my canon...one of the worst things is that I for some reason can't find a happy level so a few of my photos have quite an angle to them. Part of that is associated to one hand shooting while shading the lens with the other! Very tough to do, but canon doesn't include the lens shades as most do.

Anyway I think the first photo of the trip was the dragon fly and the last that I posted is the memory house one. Enjoy.

Eagle diving out of the scene fast. I had no time to set anything I was also at a very slow speed and wasn't expecting the dive.

Eagle flying away

good shots! I like the one of it flying away. Crazy damn eagles...I watched one pick on an Osprey one time. It was interesting as the eagle finally just landed while the Osprey swooped at it several times. The eagle of course didn't flinch. I watched an Osprey do the same thing with Crows and other small birds as it was perched on a telephone pole. They have some confidence...

Yeah, unfortunately, I missed out on the lovely view of the Bald Eagle and the two Osprey flying toward me. I didn't even know it was going on, until I heard an Osprey. I turned around and fumbled around trying to get to my camera and just basically shot with whatever I had it set on but I couldn't track them fast enough to find them at first. Yeah, the avian world is definitely a hostile one. I would like to hit Klamath Basin this November. There should be hundreds of migrating Eagles at that time. Good time for some photos!
