HAPPY snapper Rob Bonici has submitted this incredible image of an eagle flying over The Patch recently. Rob said he had to rush in order to get the shot. “I was driving through The Patch when I noticed this enormous wedge-tailed eagle fly out in the forest. I happened to have my camera on the passenger seat so I quickly pulled over and started taking photos. This is my favourite because it shows a gutsy little raven trying to scare off the eagle”. The photo was taken with a 300mm lens. The Mail is asking all passionate shutterbugs to submit their favourite images for publication. Tell us the story behind the image or any photographic techniques you may have tried. Simply email editor@mailnewsgroup.com.au.
