Yesterday, we returned to Rohrer Bear Camp on Kodiak Island in Alaska. While we stood on the deck, happy to be back here and savoring the beauty and serenity of this pristine corner of the world, a number of Bald Eagles were flying over Mush Bay in front of us so we got our cameras out and began to shoot. My friend Eric stood a few feet away from me. We shot for most of an hour despite the light rain. Later in the afternoon when we downloaded our images, Eric and I discovered that we had identical images we took at the same instant. We were both shooting with @NikonZ9 and 600mm lenses but Eric’s lens is the spectacular #NikkorZ600mmf/4 TCVRS and mine is the also spectacular but much lighter, slightly slower, and much less expensive #NikkorZ600mmf/6.3VRS lens. Although Eric is 6 feet 4 inches tall and I’m 5 feet 8 inches, we somehow got the Eagle positioned at the same place in the frame and when we were amazed to realize that the wings and wingtips are in the identical positions. Only the very abstract background is slightly different because we were standing a few feet apart. To see Eric’s shot click here.
