Canon Thursday Photo 2011: #24

<p>Once again, a lot of great shots here already and looking forward to seeing what everyone else has to share.<br>

These two barred owl babies were pledged from the nest less than two weeks ago. This was as close as I could get to them and as unobstructed a shot as I could get, as well. Shot with my 50D and EF 100-300mm USM f4.5-5.6 at 300mm f5.6 and 1/50 sec, with the camera on tripod using Live View. Cropped in quite a bit to get this, but considering the situation, I'm pretty happy with the results.</p><div></div>

<p>Mine is from last weekend at the Los Angeles Southwest College, where the annual L.A. Watts Summer Games is being held. LAWSG is like the Olympics for California high school athletes. Fun stuff!</p>
