This is the third image of nesting owls in a tree close to our home. This image was taken yesterday from an estimated distance of 130 feet.
Technical: Canon EOS R5 , ISO 1600, 1/200sec, f/8, exposure compensation +1.0, 100-400mm zoom lens at 400 mm, handheld
Note: A 400mm lens gets you much closer to your subject. However this image has also been cropped for screen use to ‘get even closer’ to the owls. This would not be necessary with a longer lens: like an 800 or 1000 mm lens.
