    Default Snowy owl in super low light

    This image is from Winter last year in Ottawa with Daniel. It was taken before sunrise thus ISO 10,000. BG is snow.

    1DX 400 f/5.6 1/1600sec ISO 10,000. handheld. We used bait to attract the snowy owl. Hope you like this frame

    Great eye contact on this unique frame. The white on white is really cool as the only thing we see is the black feather pattern and those riveting eyes. I would never have thought to push the ISO to 10,000 but with this BG and your editing skills it looks great. Very nice Arash.

    Another killer snowy image, Arash, and what an amazing frame considering the high ISO. Love those piercing eyes and the white on white.

    Hi Ari, incredible eye contact here, and I really like how the snowy 'blends' into the BG. Excellent outcome with such a high ISO - Well done.

    It would be incredible at ISO 800.... At ISO 10,000 it is beyond belief. What did you use for the RAW conversion?

    What an awesome image Arash...you must have had a good guide! White on white is always appealing to me, but especially more-so with the Snowy Owl.

    Sweet! It almost looks like a ghostly apparition. ISO 10K is insane! Amazing processing, Arash! Well done!
