Dag says:
I sat in a hide at a feeding place for eagles on the island of Smøla in Central Norway when it began to snow heavily. Most of the eagles had left the place, but one white-tailed eagle sat in a tree in the forest on the other side of an open field. Suddenly it began to snow, and after trying different camera settings I ended up with a relatively long shutter speed and small aperture. The eagle sat for a long time, so I could try different compositions.
