~second nest of this season. This is going be a tough pair to shoot as she did not poke her head out until after sunset. At 7.54pm, this image was captured. Her color is a lot more red than the previous pair. Applied vignetting blur and darkened the outer part of the nest.
5D Mark III, 1/320, f/6.3, ISO1600, filled flash, 400mm 5.6L
This is different. She looks quite mad with you. Good detail and flash work.
Thank you Jack. I am not sure. This is a new nest near a busy street with cars driving by, people around. I find that they often have that look when they are concentrating on something. Again, I am not an expert.Quote:

The details look good, and its different than usual look.
I am not sure what she feels of you flashing her nest.
I did not think she cares at all. At one point she was looking towards the Male's direction where he has been calling.Quote:

Wonderful shot.
I really like it.
Excellent details and great comp.
Very well done.
Thank you all.
Well done with the vignetting effect idea. There goes Arash's theory that you cant use flash on owls.
I would consider eliminating the second catchlight in each eye.
Mike, I have read up on the use of flash on owls. I only took a few shots as the sun was already set. The female was in the nest with the babies the whole 4 hours that I waited. The male was around calling, at one point she was looking at him high up in the tree. After a few shots, I left to leave them be.Quote:
