If at first you don’t succeed, do try again.

I have been yearning to take a picture of an eagle so much that last week while on my way from work, I spotted one on its regular spot and said it out loud, fortunately the people that I was with were too deep into what they were discussing and didn’t hear me.

I had tried one time to take a picture of one closer to my workplace but it didn’t come out as I thought it would, so on my drive home on Thursday, while going through the Makgadikgadi Pans National Park, I spotted one and tried to take a picture, but it was too far and eventually flew away.

In a few minutes, I passed by another one and I just had to make a u-turn for it.

Even as I walked out of the car towards it, it remained still long enough, allowing me to position myself and get my camera settings right.

These pictures were all taken by a Canon EOS800D and went all the way to the maximum focal length of its lens. The results from Panning worked well.

As it flew away, I had to remember that I was still in the park and that dangerous animals might be watching me from behind the grasses, so I hurried back into the car and carried on with the journey. I was fulfilled.
