Tackling Tough Light: Photographing Sea Ducks, Eagles, & Otters

Join Heidi and myself as we photograph Sea Ducks and Otters along the Resurrection Bay in Alaska in some harsh light. It was a great day and some fun subject to photograph. The gear we are shooting is for Heidi the Canon R5 and the EF 500 f/4 L MKII and I am shooting the Nikon Z6 III and the Z 180-600 lens. Both performed amazingly in these tough light and water conditions. We talk about how we are approaching a feeding eagle and what we look for when setting up along the water. 🎸 MUSIC: Leave the Light On By Mattias Tell ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Affiliate links mean I earn a commission from qualifying purchases.
