I have a regular early morning visit in my back yard from a Pair of Bald Eagles. I have taken MANY shots but as they always come around 6:00 AM the lighting is very poor. I am using a Canon 10D with a lens choice of either an EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM or an EF 35-350mm f/1:3.5-5.6 L USM. I am new to digital and just learning PS. I need advise on either technique in shooting or PS working of photos. Or if you think I am using the wrong lenses. All help is greatly appreciated.

  Two things should remedy this situation.

1.Up your ISO speed, 125 is not high enough in this low light, i'd suggest 800 would be good.

2.Use a tripod if you haven't already.

Good luck, the second picture isn't so bad.
