Nikon D60. 280.0mm F5.6 ISO400 1/4000
I forgot to change the ISO - but i got this anyway :-))) this is a WILD barn owl that i had been told hunted near the woods, today i had a feeling to go there looking for the owl, i got lucky :-))))) - He/she was a long way off, but hey you cant have everything. - Well, not unless i go to a bird centre, but to me thats not as much fun:-)

    Very well done FG....see what you can do when you push things to the limit. Who cares about a little noise if the image still gets the message across. Nice job but you must have got cold..cheers..Moi

    I want to say you lucky gal! But luck only happens when you are there looking for it.

    I agree, I love looking for the birds in freedom. Catching a good "in flight" shot is extremely dificult, but you did well. Nice capture and also a nice compo.
