What are money shots? hmm. I recently came across a CTV new story about a guy whose photo went viral when he captured a bald eagle in flight over a pond of water and the mirror reflection was almost perfect. Two or three weeks earlier I had been at the same place with the same eagle (maybe it was a different eagle - not sure). The wind was up a bit so the ripples were messing up the reflections. I got some nice pics, but this guy's photo was perfect. Ahh - right place, right time. Over the years I have gotten a ton of spectacular wildlife "moments". It is patience, it is understanding the subject, it is anticipation, and much of it is being in the right place - at the right time. I caught this one a couple of weekends ago in my back yard. Stealth, patience, and luck. Limited opportunity also because a couple weeks on and they seemed to have all moved away. 6 little ones in all and two adults. Amazing to watch them. More here
