Behind The Lens

Location

This is a beautiful little owl that they have at the Pacific Northwest Raptors Centre. They hand rear these raptors and give flying demonstrations to people in hopes of us learning more about them and the essential service they provide the world. They re also used at airports and landfills to "encourage" other birds to leave the area as its not safe for them.

Time

This was taken during one of their morning flying demos at 11:30 am PST

Lighting

It was a cloudy, overcast day just on the brink of raining

Equipment

Hand held Nikon D80

Inspiration

Enjoying all the beautiful birds at the flying demo

Editing

This was edited using a very basic editing program to increase brightness

In my camera bag
