Congratulations Dave Leroy for your image "Short Eared Owl" being chosen as the Avain Image of the Week for the week ending 4/15/2011!!!


It was an incredible morning. Tthe owl insisted I take its picture. It waited until the light was right and then gave me six different perches in 4 different directions and all but one more or less frame filling and one portrait only. It took 20 minutes.

This is the first perch and i know ha is perhaps a bit tight. It was a windy morning and the owls wings would float up and down on the gusts.

7D, 500mm, f/4, ISO640.

Thanks folks. Really appreciated.

It was one of those morning and really adds credence to the idea that you had better go out because you just never know what might happen.
