Location
This shot was taken twenty minutes away from my hometown of Columbia Maryland.Time
Time of day is difficult with any Eastern Screech Owl. They primarily use tree holes as sleeping locations. They will emerge from the holes to warm up in the last minutes of sun before venturing out for the night hunt.Lighting
The Eastern Screech Owl helps us photographers by providing great photo ops at the golden hours of day.Equipment
I have been using a Nikon D7100 outfitted with a Tamron 150 - 600mm telephoto lens. This shot was taken handheld.Inspiration
This was a life bird for me! And this single shot influences me to get out everyday and use what I have learned up to this day in my photography!Editing
I use Lightroom 5. But it was barely needed fo this photo!In my camera bag
In my Delta Waterfowl camera bag I have: -2 Nikon D7100's -Tamron 150-600mm telephoto lens -spare batteries -nikon lens wipes -2 Nikon SB 700 speedlightsFeedback
Many hours of searching will turn up a photo op that keep you urning for more! Keep at it and don't let frustration get the best of you!
