Nikon D800, Nikon 24-120, 45 sec, f22, Phototrap, 3 flashes.

The other screech owl images I posted were taken with a telephoto. I had two cameras set up during the four nights I spent with the screech owls. The second camera was placed close to the nest for a wider angle view. The presence of the moon was a lucky accident. It was present during several captures.

Another nice owl shot Ed

The moon is a sort of bonus but I don't think it adds anything
