Location
This was taken in Ottawa the last time there was an influx from the North of Great Grey Owls.Time
It was around 8.00 in the morning we drove over night to get there and slept in the van for a few hours.Lighting
The light was super that day as the sunwas trying to break through as the snow was falling.Equipment
I used a Canon 1D IV with a 500mm lensInspiration
To have the owl perched on the fir tree with the snow on the branches was a dream come true we felt.Editing
The picture required very little post processing as it was just one of the magical mornings where the elements came together to create the picture.In my camera bag
I shoot now with a Canon 5D IV and 400mm DO lens I have a 100-400mm 24-70 mm plus 1.4 and 2x converters in the bag.Feedback
The best advice I can give to people is get out there in the bad weather that's when shots like this happen.
