Very nice. You may want to try raising your shutter speed to about 1/1000 with that lens. You my find you get more keepers when shooting birds in flight.


I try to make art by pushing buttons

Yes sure, I was facing the opposite direction where I thought the Owls would be Inland, camera was still setup from the last shot when the Owl flew by behind, I had only moments to take the shot and was against the bright sun. If I had a higher shutter speed it wouldn't of been overexposed and would of been a better picture.
Lesson learn't
