     Despite being compellingly photogenic, many eagles are difficult photographic targets, particularly when there is bright sunlight. This is due to the huge dynamic range in the light they reflect. In a Bald Eagle or African Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus vocifer), for example, the head and tail can be as white as a field of fresh snow in sunshine, while the underside of the wings can be like a dark alley at night. Although the human eye can discern detail at both ends of this wide spectrum, the camera is unlikely to be as successful.
