Spotted Owlets

In the year 2013, so far, I have had a great time tracking two sets of Spotted Owlets for over 20 days in each "affair". It was highly emotional with my starting the day before the crack of the dawn with my whole set up with remote shutter releases. They accepted me and I shot videos too.

Canon EOS 7D
Shooting Mode Aperture-Priority AE
Shutter Speed 1/25
Aperture Value 5.6
Metering Mode Evaluative Metering
ISO Speed 1600
Lens EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
Focal Length 400 mm

Lovely eyes. Liked the peeping pose. The light was quite low, you captured nicely in the low shutter speed. Nice composition. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you.

All the shootings happened in low light before the day break. As the day broke they were sleepy and withdrawn. Did you Look up the video !!!..?

Yu have been more than adequately rewarded for all your hard work.The photo is beautiful

Beautiful eye contact. Looks so innocent. Moving to the left, if possible to avoid the branch in the background would have made this even better. Thanks for sharing.

Nice one sir. Very well done in such low light conditions.With nature I guess our notions of time and patience get challenged with every experience.
