This image is only possible because I was using a 400mm f2.8 lens and due to countless hours of practice in photographing great gray owls. To get all the detail and not have blur in the wings shooting at lower shutter speeds at dusk is from tons of practice in the field. Opportunities for backlighting on great gray owls are not frequent. The weather needs to cooperate not always the case in the north and the owl needs to be in the right position. This image is about technical skill, fieldcraft and knowledge coming together in a single frame.
It’s like wingspan in real life.
Owlful resources each and everyone. The range map on ebird is perfect! Thank you.
Hah, it is!
Yes, even though the data is similar, the presentation is all different between those sites, so I thought you’d find one you liked best.
