Better Barred Owl

[AIRIC]

The shots are getting better but the light in Ontario really sucks, how many cloudy days can one place get in a winter. The low light kept my shutter speed down and I blew the action shots I will have to try again sometime soon.

Cheers,

Eric

Beautiful owl! Given the lighting situation you're dealing with, you pulled quite a few keepers here. It will get better! :sun:

I think #7, with him taking off, is wonderful!

I will take that trade right about now. It has been raining all day and most of the snow is now gone. I can only remember one day of sunshine in the past 4 weeks.

Thanks for all the great comments everyone.

Eric,
I like #4 best.
"WHO, WHO" says you need the sun to photograph owls anyway?
