Short Eared Owl

I think these type of Owls are one of if not the best looking in the

Owl family.

Nice owl. I wonder if the overall yellowish tinge to the shot is natural. Isn't he a little whiter? Nonetheless the detail and crop are great. I love that you got him with an open beak.

Excellent! How close did u take this shot??? Regards.

Mark Boyer: This was taken in late afternoon sun, hence the yellow cast on him. The sun went down about 1/2 hour after this shot. Full frame and thanks!

 

Alexander Kharlamov: I was about 13' from him. We found him in the field with I think an injured wing. We went to the car and came back deciding maybe we should take him to a rescue center, but couldn't find him again. :(

Jody, you have an amazing gallery. I've been browsing through your pictures tonight and believe it or not, you've taught me some things - just because you chose to share your technical details. I had totally forgotten I could change the ISO on my digital camera. I've been trying for 2 days to get a decent picture of my cat (with an ISO of 100). It was frustrating. Now, thanks to you, I've discovered my camera goes as high as ISO 1600! I just took some pictures indoors at night and didn't even need to use my flash! Photography will never be the same again. Thank you for sharing. You've truly inspired me. - Tonia
