From Dave Verbyla
A very low-light R7 photo with the RF200-800mm lens. ISO-6400 because this was at dawn. Short-eared Owl. Photo denoised and edited using TOPAZ and ONT Photo Raw. Probably the lowest light photo have ever taken at 1/1000 sec shutter speed.
Truly a superb photo, it jumped out at me even before I clicked through and read the description. Thanks!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I like being able to find things that really grab people’s attention, especially when I see new names in the comments.
Outstanding photo, great work. How long did you have to wait for this one?
Oh, it downloaded in less than a second! 😜
I only take pics of captive owls, as I have no patience, nor a camera that isn’t also my phone.
These and the above photo are from Dave Verbyla, who looks to live in Alaska. Here’s some more Shorties I saw on his feed.
Amazing.
Owl: *flies*
Me: 🤩
It never stops looking so cool! Shortie photos especially always tend to have that intense gaze right into the camera.
