I've seen a bunch of great Burrowing Owls on the forum of late, so I thought I'd post one of my favorites. I do love photographing owls, and hope to someday be fortunate enough to photograph a Great Grey.
Canon 1D Mark III, 500mm f/4 + 1.4x, f/7.1, 1/800, ISO 800, no flash, handheld
I like seeing these guys up on a perch !!!! Good pose perch and framing Agree on the USM and would increase the density In this case would be duplicate layer and multiplying Will turn out great !!!
Fabs described it pretty well. Simply duplicate the original image in Photoshop (creating a second layer). Set the blend mode to Multiply. Then change the opacity of the new layer (in this case 35%).
