When I decided to try to shoot my star trails I came out to the Elk Island park, a little early. I really wanted to try out my friends 24mm tilt-shift lens. I have to say, that it is going to be really hard to give that lens back. Really hard. I had to try it out on landscape photographs, and what better place for that than Elk Island National Park. Arrived at the park, just before the sunset, and here is the first part of what I captured. Enjoy.
Where are the Eagles?
A coworker gave a great tip where I could find some bald eagles. It's an old gravel pit, which right now is a little lake. He showed me some pictures that he was able to take with his little point and shoot camera, and there were 5 0r 6 bald eagles just sitting calmly in the trees. So I decide to go on a hunt myself. I did see one young eagle, but it was too far away. Even with my 400mm zoom it would make a good shot. Maybe it was beacause there were a few people around, and they got scared away. I'm planning to visit that spot again to see if maybe I can get a couple of good shots. Since I couldn't get a shot of an eagle, I didn't want to leave empty handed. Here are some random shots I too while there. Enjoy.
