Barn Owl, ISO 5000

[Fabs Forns]

Here we are, taking advantage of technology available. This is captured very late in the day, and the high ISO was necessary. Since it's sky, I got very little noise, one round of Noise Ninja only. Everglades National Park. Flash TTL -1 Ev Cropped from horizontal.

This really got my attention. I'd love to get a Barn Owl in the wild. Outstanding color for the BG and I love that owl. I like the touch of greenery below but they appear to have some noise. Well done.

Very nice Fabs especially under touch lighting conditions. I like the blurred wing tips. Was the original in portrait format?

[Michael Pancier]

awesome fabs. you nailed it. you lucked out you got it with sky in the background. he was an elusive one.

Hi Fabs, another great job on the 5000 ISO still cannot believe it and not a drop of noise. Great eye contact and wing position, the tree's are a very slight distraction but show's a little habitat otherwise, another winner.

Sorry, I forgot to add cropped from horizontal. I'll edit the original.
Thanks, guys!
I'll redo the vegetation running selective noise or blurring. I really didn't look at it much :o

Excellent job considering the shooting conditions Fabs.

Great pose and I particularly like the BG colors and agree on removing the noise in the leaves.
