    Default Fly By...

    The owlets from the first nest have fledged successfully. Unfortunately, due to my work schedule, I did not have the chance to photograph them peeking out of the cavity.
    I made a goal to capture them in flight this season. Last night, we moved on to photographing the second pair. This is the Red Morph pair that have been nesting at my friend's property for the last 8 years. Instead of getting the incoming shots, I decided to focus on the flying away shot. After figuring out their feeding pattern, we setup the camera and triggered it remotely. In additional, an additional light source was added about 5 o'clock position where the camera was set up to attract insects and other prey. I managed to capture some frames last evening of this pair flying by to hunt for prey.
    I left the hint of tree is the background to give it a sense of environment.
    7D2, 16-35mm @ 16mm, 1/250, f/16, ISO1600, both flashes and camera triggered remotely.

    What a wonderful expression and pose, with great lighting. I'd be tempted to remove the one limb exiting the top of the frame, or even crop it out.
