Barn Owl yesterday.
D3 + 600mm AFS II + 1.4 conv.
1/250 @ f8.
ISO 400.
Ex Comp -1.0EV.
Just as I started to eat my lunch (3.30pm) it was late I know.
From nowhere this little beauty turns up. Suddenly there are three in the air. Magic.

Pity it is married, otherwise a very nice portrait.

Another great barn owl shot - I want some up here too! Lovely afternoon light, nice colours (esp background). You can't do much about the ring but you could get rid of the white stuff :rolleyes:

Lots of Barn Owls around at the moment but I never tire of seeing them, I just wish they were around here.

Nice light. :toast:

Lovely light and a very nice B/G, good detail too. The perch is a little on the large side for my liking but it's better than the metal one my Barn Owl keeps landing on :smile: might clone the s@$t out as well...

Nice work Major, look forward to more..

Beautiful detail on this Major. Great as it is and would also be great if cropped a bit tighter, it's nice to have the choice.
