While I was in Florida (actually was in Georgia) I spy'd an Eagle that had just taken down another type of bird. By the time I picked my way to him in a position where I could see him and the light was favorable, he had eaten quite a bit of it.
I geuss some time went by while he was ripping this thing apart and I was focused intently on him because I wanted to catch him when he flew off. I infact was so focused that I never noticed the gator that was less then 20 yards to my right. Not sure if he was there when I snuck up or emerged after I had taken up a spot. I wasn't leaving until I had a chance at that Eagle!
Finally, the small birds around the Eagle pestered him enough that he took flight and I was able to catch him as he flew off. This was my first chance at photographing an Eagle that gave me a half decent set up and while not perfect, I was pretty stoked to have captured what I have here.

The gator that was way to close for me. After the Eagle left, I back tracked and came back above the gator to get a shot of him, but I couldnt back up enough to get him all in the shot and I wasnt going to get closer

Hi Pappy! I saw you at Steele Creek but not close enough to say hey. I went for a dive in a ravine when I had gotten the lead in women novice. Needless to say after 20 minutes lost there my race was pretty much shot. :(
If I want to get caught by your camera I am thinking I may need to stay on the track :D

Nice pics... how did you 'overlook' Chris Borich in the very first part of the thread though? He's also got as good a shot as anyone at the #1 plate!

That would have been super cool to have sequence shots of me crashing into the ravine and the look on the guy's face whose quad I did my "rag-doll" landing on.

Bryan Cook needed a shot for his poster and I supplied him with the image. Unfortunatley, I was on my laptop and unable to work the original photo but he was able to have his posters made with what I gave him.
Here is the edited version, now that I am home:p
