Eagles with the Canon R3 and 600 F4 near San Louis Obispo - kind of a dream shoot for me!!

[@55dougie]

Love, love eagles no matter how many times I photograph them… thanks Johnny, good stuff.

[@Eli4Bill]

Amazing images John!😍 Especially loved the burst shots of the eagles!❤️. Great work for a very long day.

[@JonnyPink65]

Thank you Bill. It was oh so worth it and I can not wait to do it again. 🙏💖🤗

[@Eli4Bill]

@ Looking forward to seeing more from that area!

[@PhilThach]

Eagles were AWESOME. I like the scrub jay shots too! That place looks great and you did a fantastic job.

[@JonnyPink65]

Thank you Phil - it was awesome. Normally if I can going that far, I get a room - it makes it easier on me. But that was so worth it. Next time I go, I am getting a room because there is another location I want to go as well. It was so so worth it. 🙏💖🤗

[@123DarkG123]

danggggggg John..... so jealousssss :). I love them. Congrats, really nice photos. I will drive 3 hours every day to see them.

[@JonnyPink65]

Thank you, thank you. Going back as soon as I can!!! It was an AWESOME treat. 🙏💖🤗

[@johnjuby6184]

I had to google San Luis Obispo to recall where it is from my days in Oxnard. Yeah, long drive for you. Great shots. Thank you, Johnny.

[@JonnyPink65]

Thank you, thank you for letting me share. It was worth it. 🙏💖🤗

[@alantay9409]

Great video. Your effort to make the journey is always worth it when you get to enjoy peace nature offers. Thank you for sharing.

[@JonnyPink65]

Thank you, thank you for letting me share. It was worth it but easier on my body if I get a room and a little sleep LOL. Good to know I CAN still do it. 🙏💖🤗

[@BiermaRichard]

Great photos of the Eagles!

Hi John, great images and I am glad you got the eagles you wanted. I am trying real hard to not take Bald Eagles for granted. It wasn’t that many years ago when they were not very common. Current counts show we have 9,000 mates pairs and most of those are in the Puget Sound area. Between the beauty of the bird and the loss of chickens and attacks on dogs, I tend to have a love hate relationship with them. 😂 My mother in-law has had to take her dog to the vet to get patched up after being attacked. I got pictures of one the other day that was carrying a dead duck. The eagle was also banded. One leg had a silver tag, the other a green and black with an M on it. I am reaching out for assistance to see what I can learn from this. We were all trying for Short-eared Owls and I think I was the only one who raised a camera to get pictures of this eagle.

[@JonnyPink65]

I understand. We have gobs of hummingbirds but I still get excited to shoot them and have to make a conscious effort NOT to take photos of them. Owls..... I forgot about those out there. Well, it looks like my December trip out your way may be back on. I am just happy to have these here - they are AMAZING!! 🙏💖🤗

[@DocBoA]

Dynamic range is quite nice on that R3 Johnnie

[@JonnyPink65]

Thank you, thank you. It does everything I want it to do at a price I can afford. I bought it earlier this year and I still love it. 🙏💖🤗

[@dougedwards7570]

great images as always - blue bill is a Ruddy Duck

[@JonnyPink65]

Ruddy dick - -thank you. I saw that I had missed labeling one and did not want to go back. 🙏💖🤗

Hey brother , thank you for doing this video it is an amazing video bro your photos came out so amazing 🤙great editing great everything , thank you for comming out my friend 🤙

[@JonnyPink65]

Thank you, thank you for having me. I plan on going out really, really soon and hitting sweet springs too. 🙏💖🤗

[@grandpaadventures360]

@ hey well let me know if you would like my company , sweet springs has so many waterfowl The audobon folks manage that nature preserve it’s super awesome place to visit and access the way you can see morro rock and there is a place were the sea otters hide out up close to get close shots, come check it out just stay on the 101 and taken highway 1 in San Luis Obispo

[@JonnyPink65]

@@grandpaadventures360 Thinking about going up Friday night, shooting at the lake on Saturday morning and Sunday at Sweet Springs. I think the otters just sold me. Of course it would be great to hang out together and easier for me if I go up Friday night. Just went ahead an booked it. See you Saturday about 6:30 Am 🤗

[@grandpaadventures360]

@ hey bro i can meet you on Saturday shoot for a bet and head to sweat springs , the otters are in morro bay jut access from sweat springs they like to hang out in the mornings near the boat docks , Sunday I can’t make it due to work schedule but I can meet you Saturday for sure 👍

[@JonnyPink65]

@@grandpaadventures360 Looking forward to it!!! 💖🤗

[@forced_perspective]

Wow you had an amazing day out there. Crazy what a 3 hour difference does in terms of the wildlife. Was the blue billed duck a ruddy duck..and did the eagle catch a scrub jay?? Thanks for sharing

[@JonnyPink65]

It was AWESOME and I am going back I think next weekend. The blue billed duck came up as a white face and I forgot to list it. Decided not to go back in and change it. To me, it looked like the eagle had a bufflehead. I did invite you!! Was home by 1:30 I think 🙏💖🤗

[@jsbatra]

beautiful. what lake is this? have photographed thousands of eagles, but it never gets old.

[@JonnyPink65]

I was told of several out in the Central CA area - some only accessible by boat. And this is only 3 hours away instead of the 2 days away that last time I went to Washington State - a super treat for me. For me, hummingbirds never get old - they are amazing. 🙏💖🤗

[@thedroneguy42]

That’s awesome its my dream to get clips and pictures of eagles

[@JonnyPink65]

Not common for me and it was such a treat. Other than traveling to Washington at the beginning of last year, I have been out to many locations but that is the first I have been able to capture here. 🙏💖🤗

[@thedroneguy42]

@ im in Jersey i have a few close locations for eagles i guess i will have to do what you did i will have to wake up early to be at the spot by 6:30 to catch all the action

[@JonnyPink65]

@@thedroneguy42 I was up at 3 and out by 3:30. Would have made it if I had stayed on the 101 and not taken the mountain route as Google showed me but I didnt research the drive enough - I was too excited. I was there just before 7. Next time, I know! 🤗💖

[@thedroneguy42]

@@JonnyPink65 the wetlands i go to are 15 minutes away from me hopefully i will get lucky this summer and accomplish my dream hopefully when i get the R7 with the 600mm lens not the f4 I can’t afford that yet

[@JonnyPink65]

@@thedroneguy42 I did a video recently shooting the R10 and 600 F11 lens. It is an AWESOME set up - I had a lot of fun with it. The 800 F11 is only of my favorite lenses on a full frame body. 💖🤗

[@Hdkephren]

Excellent ! les 175 ou 180 photos individuelles auraient pu etre faites avec un R5 MKII ? ou le R3 reste le meilleur dans ce domaine ?

[@JonnyPink65]

Merci, merci. Le R5 II - NON. Il aurait été tamponné à environ 80, du moins d'après mon expérience avant de me débarrasser du mien. En fait, je détestais ce corps. Je tournais si c'était complètement brut, c'est donc là que le tampon a frappé. La prochaine fois que j'y vais, je serai dans cRaw et je devrais atteindre les 300 comme je l'ai fait dans le passé. Et le R3 ne surchauffe pas comme le fait le R5 II. La R1... eh bien, c'est aussi un corps incroyable. 🙏💖🤗
