Barred Owl Snow Flight

6 years 4 months ago - 6 years 4 months ago #567802 by Paul-Rossi
A snow plow blew this bird off a roadside perch and I was prepared for it with manual settings on shutter speed and aperture, and having the camera set up for flight - AI Servo Mode and continuous shooting for 8 fps.  I took a quick burst and 1 pic caught a lucky wing position.  Photo taken out of my van window with a bean bag and Panning Ground Pod resting on the bean bag.

Make: Canon
Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark II
ISO: 400
Aperture: f/4.0
Shutter speed: 1/2000 sec
