It is a pleasure to see an image taken by someone who knows exactly how to capture an image such as this.

When I first opened the image is was impressive but when I looked at the technical data it revealed your skill set. Have the fast shutter to keep it sharp and the mid range aperture to guarantee DOF was the right thing to do. Allowing the high ISO to guarantee the other settings made this work. Well done.

I would like to know the lens used, just our of idle curiosity.   Posted: 08/05/2020 15:15:51



 
Perfectly captured BIF images are very difficult to achieve. It's a one time deal as those who pursue nature photography experience. I really appreciate the excellence of this image. Congratulations to the owl as well :-)   Posted: 08/08/2020 13:42:41

Glad you liked the picture - Used my Olympus E-M1 camera, with the Olympus MZuiko 40-150mm 2.8Pro lens.   Posted: 08/21/2020 12:51:20



 
Good to see such a flight shot made from a good angle. Sharp and close to the viewer.   Posted: 08/20/2020 10:24:31

This is amazing, Gunter: the position, detail, sharpness, DofF. It could be in a naturalist book. What type of owl is this? What is that in front of the forward wing?   Posted: 08/25/2020 12:27:07
