| Sea-eagles off the shore of Rausu, Shiretoko, Hokkaido, Japan February 25, 2006 Ten years ago today I enjoyed a boat ride off shore of Rausu, Hokkaido, Shiretoko, Japan. My photos are looking old now but I'm still grateful for the experience. |
 |
| At 10:20am on February 25, 2006 this adult Steller's Sea-eagle passed by me at the back of the boat. This is frame 1. |
 |
| This is the second frame. My heart got sucked up into my throat as my camera lost focus. Pentax *ist DS and Pentax AF ED 400mm f5.6 |
 |
| I'm sorry to bore you. I know by now you know this is still my favourite picture. This is the third frame. I gritted my teeth and the camera just recaptured focus as the eagle passed.This is unedited and uncropped. |
 |
| The last frame of the encounter. There was no going back. |
