I have witnessed the most incredible thing... (before RED). A mating pair of bald eagles soared to great heights, locked talons... and did a free fall together to about 100' before separating. It was a religious experience. Truly. You read about this stuff... I saw it.

Jim, you now what the best information about this great shot is? That your fiancee still speaks to you. She must be a great woman, that she isn't angry to a man who has a second love beside her: REDone.

That would be incredible to see. I was riding through Colorado once and looked over just in time to watch a golden eagle snatch a fish out of a pond and thought that was something.
 
Crow removal

Crow removal

Jim,

Here's a quick and dirty crow removal. Don't want those ugly crows messing up a beautiful eagle picture! And thanks for your hard work.

There is a bald eagle nest about 15 minutes away from my house, but if you take the boat its like 7 minutes away, and you can get closer when your on the boat. Or you could go across the lake and find a different nest. I'm lucky though, I get to see bears every day!!!

I have witness a similar experience of mating eagles ... it was also deeply connected moment in time (a much longer story than is to be told here) ... the two did their dive several times and for three of those dives they ending their free-fall no more than 50 ft. above my head ... ZOWIE ZING!!
Those types of unforgettable moments have the power to transform.
 
This is 50 yards from the house...

I have not yet to hear of anyone else seeing this in person. To say it is a moving experience is an under-statement.

Yah Man!
 
It reminds me of something you would see on Planet Earth when they would do the bios on how somethign is shot. Its like where a cameraman waits for weeks just trying to get one shot. Then when you see it, you get goose bumps.
 
Describing it is a bit like describing childbirth... if you have seen it, you know. If you haven't...

Jim
 
Ha! So true!

In my case, the event was tied to the death passing of of one of my dear friends, an amazing man who taught me so much about the magic of life.
Cheers to the Circle of Life!

There was always a notion, an idea, a feeling: to be behind the camera, to take all this risk, to fail, not to record the picture, you had in mind, and then, at the end, you can't fail, this is the real magic, why I can't do something else than to be behind the camera, to tell stories, to stay behind the camera is like the rebirth of purity... ok, sorry for my english, not so easy to say what I realy would like to say. If I have my RED, I will tell you my thoughts in pictures ;-)

Condor experience

Condor experience

Jim,

I think I know the feeling you're describing. Earlier this year I was driving south on Highway 1 in Big Sur a few miles south of Nepenthe. On a slow section of highway several hundred feet above the ocean, I saw something dark and large out of the corner of my eye. At first I thought it was the wing tip of an airplane but when I turned my head I saw a huge bird, a Condor! For two or three seconds it was right next to me. I could see its eye. I pulled over and ran back to see the bird. I was lucky enough to see it circle and soar right by me, almost close enough to touch. The sheer size of the Condor was incredible as was its grace in the air. Afterwards I felt compelled to tell everyone I ran into that day about my experience. It is something I'll never forget.

Bob
