Tawny Owl @ Near Hartshead Moor

First time using a multi flash setup at night, quite stressful to get the amount of fill right, lots of wasted shots.

Taken with my XT-50 & Tamron 150-500mm

While I'm not the biggest fan of people flashing owls, you got a very lovely shot.

You got great detail of the fringe on the leading edges of the wing, which I don't see very often. There's also enough light to show the eyes are brown, not black, and the reflection gives some highlight to the tapetum lucidum without being too much. Facial disc also stands out nicely.

Feel free to share with !superbowl@lemmy.world if you'd like. They tend to love when other users get to capture some nice owl photos.

I'm a bit of an owl fancier, one could say. 😜
