Owl

I love photographing owls. I find photographing owl in flight is the one of most challenging things to accomplish in my photography journey. When in the jungle, they blend in so well with the surrounding, and when they fly, they are so quiet and quick. You have got to have your exposure set right, and ready to press the shutter at any given moment.

After spending 3 straight days at the same location after work, I finally captured these images. The light this evening could have been a lot better, the sun was behind the clouds most of the time. Thank god for my D700's amazing ISO handling, I was able to get these images.

Great pictures! I tried to take a photo of a barn owl sitting still on a post the other day - that was difficult enough!

Really nice shots, looks like the patience paid off! I especially like the first one, something about the empty background makes the owl quite haunting.
