Very nice find and capture! Why was raising the ISO not an option?

 

[Derrel]

That owl is one steady customer!

Thanks. Trying a few different techniques lately this was a tripod and 5 second timer

Thanks. Yes I did raise to a higher iso on some shots. I was talking to a photographer the other day who shot for AP for 30 years and is now an award winning bird photographer who told me told trying shooting at very low iso no matter what and see what I get. He said the keeper rate will down but you'll get a few nice ones with no noise at all.

This one I shot at 12,800 iso f5.6 1/80 sec 700mm

Nice.You used a tripod or with you hands??? If you used your hands, you must have some steady hands.
