Short-eared Owl in Evening Light

Short-eared Owl in evening light – Nikon D200, f6.3, 1/125, ISO 400, +0.7 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light, not baited

There is a golden tone with evening light that makes a subject glow. This male Short-eared Owl in evening light was photographed last year in Glacier County, Montana not too long before the sun set. It was a very cooperative subject.

*I am away for a few days, please feel free to share this post with your friends and family. I’ll catch up on everyone’s great blogs when I get back!
