barn owl

[slicemydrive]

Pretty pleased with this, been a long time trying to get a barn owl shot.
Visited quite a few sites numerous times this is the first shot of a BIF ive been happy with. (most of my stuff is birds on sticks)
This is a wild bird.



Many thanks go to Den, for all the help and advice

Sorry Ciaran ,I never commented on your actual shot, I know its a high iso and you were just losing the light however a +1 on the ev and hoping the owl eventually comes out a touch earlier and you will get the shots you are looking for.

thanks guys. ( for the nice's)

Den, i am sure with perseverence i will catch this at a more reasonable time.
I hope my skills at getting a BIF will improve and when it does occour I dont stuff it up...

Love the lighting on this Ciaran - pity you had to bump the ISO, but a very good shot none the less.
