Oh, To Be Young Again! - Juvenile Snowy Owl

I'm back with another late afternoon shot, about 20-25 minutes before the sun touched the horizon.

My wife will probably use this one for a painting :-)

Canon 7D with the 500L f4 lens with the 1.4 II extender, handheld @ 1/1600, f7.1, ISO 400, - 1/3 exposure compensation.

I gave it the -1/3 exposure compensation due to the dark background so as not to blow out the whites of the owl. It wasn't enough, but by using the RAW format, I was able to adjust for a bit less exposure.

No crop.

Cheers,

Mike
