    Default Barn Owl

    I got quite a few opportunities to photograph barn owls up in Utah, but most of the pics were nothing to write home about. I did like this one though.



    Canon 1D Mark III, 500mm + 1.4x, f/8, 1/1250, ISO 400, +1/3 EV, no flash, tripod

    Great find, I still have to see one in the field. Nice setting, light and details. A bit more eye contact would have been nice but I like it as is.

    Eye contact was difficult to come by for some reason; very few frames where the owls were looking at me.

    You should have worn a mouse costume. :)

    A very pretty bird and actually I like the fact it is hunting and not necessarily looking your way here. I do agree it would be nice if it were but this is pretty nice. My nit would be the darn line of the trees cutting thru him. Not that bad just a nit, I wish I had one as good!!

    I love the mouse costume idea! :D

    I love this Doug and must admit I am suffering a little envy. Really like the hunting pose and the excellent detail. They are such beautiful creatures and a big congratulations on finding this one. By the way I think the mouse costume is a great idea !!!!!!!!

    And you have a right to like this Doug! It's an awesome image with a great pose in lovely light, a nice catchlight and a pretty good BG. An image to be proud of!
