Truth be told, with my little lens, I was mostly photographing the other people that were photographing the eagles...
Talk about camera envy!
I hesitate to call anyone I met today a stranger... there's a certain camaraderie that exists naturally among birders and others who enjoy the outdoors. I do know, however, that many of us prefer to remain behind the lens. Otis was an exception to that and I was glad for his smile (and to know that much of his set-up, intimidating as it looks, is homemade and affordable.)
More about the eagles in another post.
This photo is #2 in my 100 strangers project. Find out more about the project and see pictures taken by other photographers at Flickr 100 Strangers or www.100Strangers.com

I love your 100 strangers project.
Otis looks like a very friendly guy. His equipment does look intimidating. I'll bet he has some great pictures.
I'll be interested to see more of your eagles.
What a great photo Laura.
Many times the people behind the lens are as interesting as the birds. I also "covet" lens of other photographers. Great post.
Wow, what a great photo. I am terrible at taking pics of people, but you've got a real knack for it.
This sounds like a neat project!
Great photo, Laura. Really homemade? Wow. Did you get any eagle shots?
Thanks everyone...
Sandy: I didn't get any eagle shots (I only have the 28-200 mm lens, but my friend did. I'll share some soon!
That flash extender thing that Otis has, he made himself... I forget what they're called?
The commercial version of that "flash extender thing" is called a Better Beamer.
And that friend keeps sending her eagle pictures but there is no satisfying her!
