| Comment | Southern Boobook Owl (Ninox booboo) in our front garden. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Equipment | Pentax K-3 with Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 APO DG HSM lens, ISO 400 @ 500mm @ f/6.3 @ 1/180, street light and a red light torch, hand held. This Southern Boobook Owl was in our front street tree, calling for almost an hour at around 8:30pm, Monday night…I used light from the street light and a soft "red light" torch to achieve a focus, a difficult task as I didn't want to disturb or hit it with a flash, my wife held the light as I did a manual focus and shot. The torch we used has a variable slide switch that takes the red filtered light from very soft dull to extremely bright and the Owl didn't seem to react on the low or higher level, it certainly knew we were watching from below the tree. Nevertheless I got the shot and it stayed put on the branch and kept calling long after we had returned back inside the house. I did some very minor post shot editing but that's the shot as it turned out. The image was actually quite dark, but once I enhanced the image, this was the result, it was shot as a jpeg but I will soon graduate to raw as suggested in the February news letter. | ||||||||||||||||||
