Digiscoping. Nikon Coolpix 4500 + Leica APO77.
1/15 seconds, F 4.2, ISO 100
Great find and it looks quite good for a digiscoped image. I also like the inclusion of the habitat and soft light and might sharpen the bird a bit more.
I agree this looks pretty good for a digiscoped image! I also agree with a bit more sharpening, and perhaps lightening the image a bit...unless you want to preserve the dark forest mood.
It is surprisingly good for digiscoping. I like the dark forest mood. Apparently you have to watch out with these very aggressive owls, at least one researcher lost an eye when handling a nest.
Hi Joel
I just love looking at owl images and this species is new to me. Neat digiscope.
