Birds Golden Eagle In Flight - Sony A9 III + 200-600mm

I've recently tried to incorporate more habitat into my wildlife images to expand upon the standard portraits with a smooth background.

In this case, I was fortunate the eagle flew against an aesthetically pleasing chaparral/rock outcrop, setting the scene nicely.

I took this with the Sony A9 III. Honestly, this is not a good tourist/travel camera. It's a specialized sports and wildlife camera. You would be better suited with something like a Sony A7RV, or A7V as an all purpose travel/city camera.
