Shot few days ago early morning with zero light. I taped huge MAG flashlight to the bottom of the tripod shoe on the lens. I found 4 GH-Owls all fairly close. I could hear mommy hooting and 3 youngster screeching like a nice stereo concert. They were flying around as I could hear them moving from tree to tree since locations of the screeches changing often near me.
I turned flashlight off and just listen to the concert from very close range, very surreal feeling. At one point I found this young male really close posing for me looking in to the flashlight, just checking me out. I had to zoom out to 290mm since this owl was really close. Shooting in the dark has it's advantages like you can shoot low ISO and low shutter speed even flying birds since all 100% light is from flash. D2Hs, 200-500mm f/5.6 1/250, ISO-400, f/5.6, VR-ON,handheld @290mm SB-800 flash + Better Beamer. Please click on the image for uncompressed view, thank you.
