This photo was taken at the Carolina Raptor Center in Huntersville, NCTime
Mid-morningLighting
It was an overcast day when I went to shoot birds at the raptor centerEquipment
This photograph was shot using a Canon 5D MIV handheld.Inspiration
The staff at the raptor center were bringing out birds for flight and I wanted to capture an owl.in flight.Editing
Minimal post processing was done on this photo, but it was cropped.In my camera bag
My camera bag now has a Canon R5, Canon RF 50 & 24-105mm lens, EF 16-35mm and a Canon EF 100-400mm lens, filters, and flash.Feedback
Capturing birds in flight takes practice. It also takes an understanding of bird behavior. So practice, practice, practice and learn about the habits of the bird or birds you want to photograph.
