Eagle Photographs

Robert (Bob) John Henry Cote
Years as a photographer: Eight years
Equipment: Nikon D700016.1 megapixel

My focus over the years has been based on wildlife photography, natural scenery, oceans and historical sites. Cameras that I have used since I became a photographer have been satisfactory however the Nikon D7000 surpasses all other Cameras. Scroll through my website, and have a look at some of my unique photos. Please go to my guestbook and leave a comment whether good or bad it will be appreciated.

2012 Photo Contest

The Kings County Photo Club is sponsoring the 2012 Photo Contest in conjunction with Henry's and The Sheffield Mills Eagle Watch. There will be two categories:

Best Eagle or Bird of Prey Shot

This category is for the photographer looking to capture the great shot of the eagles. Remember to photograph the birds doing something. There are lots of great shots of static eagles. Get them hunting, interacting, feeding, grooming or engaged in other eagle activities. The photo should teach the viewer something about eagles. And because there are more than just eagles out there, the contest is open to any bird of prey.

Best Spirit or Experience of the Sheffield Mills Eagle Weekends

This category is specifically for photographers with all types of cameras. You don't need a lens the size of a canon to compete in this category. All you need is an idea and then the ability to capture it. Attend one of the many scheduled events such as displays and meals (see the website http://www.eaglens.ca/index.php for daily activities), go to the viewing areas or just explore the Valley.

Contest Rules:

1)  Photograph must have been taken in 2012.
2)  One submission is allowed per category per person.
3)  Submit your entry to kings.photography.club@gmail.com by Wednesday Feb 8th noon with your contact information.
4)  Prizes will be awarded for the top three in each category.
5)  Winners will be notified by Feb 15th.
6)  Winners consent to having their winning photograph displayed on the social media of the sponsors.
