Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in a public park in South Florida. These parks are havens for these endangered owls

Time

this photo was taken around 8am

Lighting

these owls live in burrows in open fields- the morning light is perfect for photographing them

Equipment

I used a canon 1DXmk2, 600mm F4 IS L mk2 lens with a 1.4 x attached

Inspiration

one look at these cuties compels one to spend some time with them and photograph them

Editing

this photo is cropped and slight exposure processing and noise reduction was added

In my camera bag

I carry a tripod but seldom use it also I keep 1.4x and 2x extenders along with a 100-400 F5.6 L IS mk2 in my bag

Feedback

these owls are in full public view and are used to people so if you are quiet and patient a photo opp. is sure to present itself
