Shame on you. It's disgusting that you baited the owl with your bought rodents to get the staged shot. It's like catching a trophy fish with a net. Anyone here could have achieved what you did by using the same unethical practise. What's wrong with you? No consideration on the overall impact?

Please, you really need to get a life.. You've already started another post in order to call me Stupid for not seeing things your way.. I'm not ashamed at all, I can be truthful and confident in my photography. I knew I would ruffle a few feathers with my post but you've taken it to another level. I'm a photographer that comes to this site to share photos and ideals not to attack other members.. I posted the photos and acknowledge using bait. I'm not trying to gain anything with photos posted, other than to show capabilities of the D850 or did you miss my point of the thread..

Awesome shots! I just purchased a D850 and haven't had too much time to play with it but what little I have shot with it was mind blowing coming from a D7100 (which I like). Your photos are excellent.

Took the new camera out last weekend to give it a test. I've already located and been shooting owls under very low light conditions with the D7200. To guarantee some action I stopped at the pet store and picked up a few mice. I have 30 days to try and return if not happy. First thing I notice is the stellar ISO abilities. Always afraid to go over 800 I shot into the ISO3200 range in some of my captures. I needed SS of 1000 or better to freeze most of the motion. The most difficult of all BIF shots are the ones with the subject flying towards you. A lot of cameras have difficulty keeping up and in focus. DSLR cameras are computers and it's up to the photographer to program correctly to even capture the shots. I'm still fine tuning, but seems to be working Great. Unfortunately I'm swamped at work and haven't had but a few hours during the weekend to even try. Can't wait to get out in the light and do some more testing. Thought I would share a few......
Note: these are JPEGS and no noise reduction done. I had considered the D500 and D810 as an option to the D850. Personally I didn't like the ISO capabilities of the D500 and sent it back.. Not bad mouthing the camera, it was just not for me. Steve Perry had me look at this D850 camera seriously and as of so far I couldn't be happier. I do most of my wildlife photography in low light so ISO performance and focusing were at the Top of my want list.

This is an exquisite BIF set, Martin; very nicely done.
