Taken a couple of weeks ago, at Brian Piccolo park near Ft. Lauderdale. Thought I'd try something different, after a couple of hundred other shots of this burrowing owl.
Nikon D300, with 600 mm f/4 with stacked 2x and 1.4 teleconverters, with 3 extension tubes - I believe this gives an effective focal length of about 2500 mm -this image is uncropped. I don't believe I was too close to the owl.
Manual mode, 1/80 sec, f/13, ISO 1600 (it was a dull day, and I bumped the ISO to allow a reasonable shutter speed, with f/13 to try to preserve DOF). Minor photoshop tweaking, including some cloning in the pupil which reflected hydro/phone lines and nearby buildings.
