Today I was lucky enough to go to a canon training day (because I work in a camera shop). I got to use a Canon 5D mark 4 and a whole load of different lenses whilst photographing a falconry display. I was like a kid at Christmas :D. At the end of the day everyone that took part entered a photo into a little competition. I am elated to say that I won! This is the image that did it for me and left me with a smile from ear to ear :D.
This photo shows a captive reared eagle owl that was on its best behaviour :).
