Long Eared Owl Flight

Bill Sharkey · Dec 22, 2008

On a cold day with some help from my friends I was lucky to grab a shot of the LEO flying by, in his natural habitat.

Shot with Canon MIII, 500mm f4, handheld, 1/1250, f7.1, ISO 400.

Thanks for looking

Love the wings-down pose and the eye contact. Sharpness and exposure are excellent. The tall OOF tree is a bit distracting to me. Thanks for posting.

Bill, this is pretty sweet, not an easy target. Congrats. Of course, both eyes would be sweeter

Great pose and light. About the OOF tree, I wish it was not merging with the bird, rather to one side of it, for a stronger compo.

This is a bird that is high on my wish list, and I do not recall ever seeing an image of one in flight. Yes, the oof tree isn't ideal, but I would be happy none-the-less.

Cool incoming pose and that big eye makes it for me. I agree with Fabs regarding the OOF tree.
