barn owl

This barn owl put on the best display we could possibly ask for but light was an issue and high ISO has'nt helped but a barn owl flying towards you is quite a sight.


Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/800
Av( Aperture Value ) 5.6
ISO Speed 800

canon 50D 100-400mm

simply standing in a field.

Ah - fond memories Cameron! Considering the conditions we had, this is excellent! He's perhaps a little centred in the frame, but that's personal preference.

Can tell it was a great experience that you've made the most of.

Good capture. As mentioned, i'ts a bit central which could still work, if there was a bit more space all round.

Nice... central works for me in this case, given the bird is flying towards you.

Lovely shot and i do not mind it being that central in the frame as the pose allows for this.

Greetings,

Good one. I would crop some off top and bottom for a more landscapy feel. But thats a minor personal opinion.

Hi Cameron
Nice image, I think the crop works in this case maybe as John said a little of the top but I like the eye contact. :toast:
