Overcast, dim skies are not a photographers friend, particularly when you are trying to get pics of a fast-mover. Such was the case this past Saturday when I came across this eagle at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge.
Despite having to use a slow shutter speed due to the poor light, I was actually able to get a nice series of it as it departed. The clearing skies behind it helped to add some interest versus the cruddy gray that was everywhere else.
