Old Photos»Photographs of Eagle Nests and Eagle Chicks on Vancouver Island
Photographs of Eagle Nests and Eagle Chicks on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. - These are either older photos or photos that are not yet available for sale.
Additional Eagle Nests (and Eagles) can be found HERE. Discussion forums can be found HERE. Photograph quality may appear to be degraded due to: - the high telephoto 'magnification' (800 - 1,600mm). - photos were taken at a distance ~ 1/4 mile.
- wind vibration & shake - both for the camera lens and the nest: it can be very windy and gusty where the sea meets the land.
- atmospheric effects ('heat shimmies') - shooting across a body of cool water, then across warm land .
- extreme cropping & enlarging - original photos have been cropped down to less than 1/4 of original photograph to isolate just then nest.
- general atmospheric effects - haze, reflected & diffused sunlight - there is a lot of 'air' between the lens and the nest.
