Orly?

found out my neighbor had some kind of owl living in a woodduck house in their backyard. by the time I shot these it was getting kind of dark so these are all ISO 3200 (except the first - that one is ISO 1000). even then I was getting pretty slow shutter speeds (1/125) at f5.6. taken on 30D 400f/5.6L. not really the best shots, maybe I'll wait and see if he comes out a bit earlier in the evening to try and get a bit quicker shutter speed (oof)

 

thats pretty tight... nice shots

 

Yes, those are nice! I like owls.

 

SWEET!!!! I want one!! It looks like its super small and could live in the upstairs of my house.

 

thats a nice zoom dude.

 

ummmm, they look pretty damn good to me. I'm not even an amateur though

 

the more i look at the last two the more they seem out of focus from #3. plus he looks angey that your taking photos of him in the last few. like "WTF?!.....stop that!" haha what lense is this? is it an "is" lense?

 

I want your camera

 

I want your skillz

 

Never look an owl (or a chinchilla) straight in the eye. They will steal your soul.

Cool pictures.

 

Ya rly! =) great pictures bro!

 

wow, very nice

 

I see what u did thar.

 

Great looking pictures!

 

handholding a 400mm non IS lens with 1/125 i was surprised to even get 1 clear shot. and yes, the last two are definately oof

 

Pretty good eye to even notice that thing pokin' his head outta there, nice pics too.

 

Fixed.

 

Very good pics!

 

hmmm.. nice shots.
that kinda looks like a screech owl. aka urban dive bombers.
they will mob on your dome. tell your neighbor to walk near it around dusk and have the camera ready then too..:biggrin:

 

O RLY!
