With summer streaking by, it's time for me to post a nostalgia shot of my favourite bird, the Snowy Owl. I also have to dig into my files to prepare for another exhibit next October.

The light is just magnificent with either the rising or setting sun when photographing birds. This one is formatted for an 8 x 16 framing. It will be printed directly on canvas.


Canon 7D with the 500L f4 lens handheld @ 1/1250, f4, ISO 400 +2/3 exposure compensation.
Cropped to frame at 8 x 16. A bit of out-of-focus vegetation clonned away. With the aperture wide-open, there was a restricted depth of field which naturally blurred both fore and background.

Cheers,

Mike
