20130422 361 Great Horned Owl (f).jpg

Ottawa West

Mom doing some stretching exercise after a long sit.
This image is a bit soft due to the slow shutter speed. I should have used a much higher ISO and perhaps upped my exposure a bit as the light was not very good in the direction of the Owl. It was OK when shooting towards the nest, which I had been doing. Perhaps I should have used the "Auto"ISO setting.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 300mm f/4 ED-IF AF-S
1/60s f/6.7 at 500.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Still a good shot, Hank. Auto ISO works well on Canon cameras, probably Nikon, too.
