Shutterbug Photo of the Day: “The Golden Eagle” by Lorenzo Cassina

Today’s Shutterbug Photo of the Day is this regal photo of an eagle captured by Lorenzo Cassina. Cassina shot the image with a Nikon D80 and Sigma 70-300mm lens. His settings were 1/100 sec, f/5.6, ISO 400.

“The Golden Eagle is one of the largest and fastest raptors found in western North America. This majestic bird, inspiring reverence and fear, was photographed in the Wildlife Sanctuary at Flamingo Gardens in Davie, Florida,” Cassina writes. “He has permanent injuries preventing him to live in the wild but receiving care, shelter, and love for life. I volunteer my photography to bring awareness of this non-profit organization.”

See a larger version of the image in the Shutterbug Photo of the Day gallery here.
