Banking the curve in racing:
The slope of the turns, which can help cars enter and exit the corners. A flat track would have 0 degrees of banking. A track with 15 degrees would have significant banking. The higher the degree of banking, the faster the cars will be able to travel.

This is the same eagle displayed a few days ago being harassed. They always look so majestic when banking!
She flew and went hunting I watched her glide across a field and anticipated at any moment she would be diving after a meadow vole but whatever she initially was after must have disappeared and then she just suddenly veered right and headed back to where she was initially perched. I wanted to stay and watch her catch a meal but the light was poor and getting darker by the minute.
This Arctic Tern makes a quick banking maneuver which shows its underbelly a bit more.

When I'm out in shooting I always have my eyes focused on the ground, in the distance, and in the sky. So when I spotted an incoming bird, I could immediately tell that it was a raptor. As it approached, I could assess that it was a hawk. Then it passed by me ... ferruginous hawk it was. One of my favorite hawks. So very beautiful inflight as it banked as if to give me a better look. It's extended gape and fully feathered legs are some of its field marks, along with the rufous underparts and black comma in the wings. Color variations are quite impressive too. They're the largest hawks in North America and make their presence known. They dine primarily on rabbits, ground squirrels, and other small mammals.

Usually in woodland I try to eliminate as the sky or as much of it from the frame. The obvious reason for this is that inevitability the sky, no mater what the day is like will blow out the highlights, as the dynamic range is too much. Sometimes to capture a scene you need to include a big lump of sky. You can’t really use a ND grad as it will darken the intruding branches and foliage, so you need to either bracket the scene or reduce the exposure. Given the great DR latitude of our modern camera more often than not from a 3 frame bracket I only use 2 or in the end go with the darkest one.
This is another capture of a mature Bald Eagle in a banking turn but this time against a nice blue sky. I find when I compare the two shots that both eagles are using their wings exactly the same in terms of stretching the wings where the bottom wing is stretched more than the upper wing is as they turn.
