 EOS 10D, 600mm, 2x, 1/50, f/13, Off camera Flash, ISO 200 This Elf Owl has been living in the same power pole hole right outside of Cabin 1 at the Santa Rita Lodge in Madera Canyon every summer for many years. In the evening after sunset, he makes his appearance, goes hunting, ususally comes back with a rodent within a few minutes and retires back into his hole. Fortuantely this owl is very used to visitors and photographers. He usually spends a couple of minutes posing like this in his hole. I have carefully observed this owl many times for his reaction to flash and he seems to suffer no adverse effect from it - he doesn't even flinch and quite often swoops out of his hole, gets his prey and comes right back. For some of you that have been looking at my photography for several years, this is a reshoot with a digital SLR of a shot I posted in various other places several years ago taken on film. The larger dynamic range of digital makes this image far superior of the identical shot I took on film. E.J. Peiker http://www.EJPhoto.com

I loved watching the Elf Owls at Madera when I was there about 19 months ago. Some day I hope to return and photograph them.
