Over the years, I have used photographing birds to learn photography because the conditions are so varied and challenging. To be honest, I don'y know if I have learned more about photography or birds
I always like seeing short eared owls especially in flight. Nice job and thanks for sharing. I am still waiting for them to show up at our local patch. They are one of my favorite bird to photograph as well.
I Use a Nikon D5300 (for now. Im saving up for the D850). The lens is a Sigma 15-600MM contemporary. The settings were !SO2000 F6.3 1/2000 of a sec. I prefer shooting more towards native ISO but I will use a higher ISO for a faster shutter speed. BIF shots Take lots and lots of practice which I completely enjoy. I would like to thank everyone who looked at and commented on my photos. I learn so much from other people.
