    Barn Owl in Flight

    Hi All,

    Out and about early this morning looking for the Owl, found it but gutted the light was so poor and it stayed at a good distance, shots very noisy as ISO ranged between 2000 and 5000, best I could do

      Excellent, not much you can do if the lights not there -- go home or increase the ISO

        I agree with Trevor , you could probably do something about the noise if you wanted , but it does not spoil them for me . Good eye contact in the 1st and 2nd .

                Excellent Paul despite the conditions - i think if you use the dehaze tool in ACR or lightroom you will get a bit more definition and contrast

                  I'd be chuffed with these any way, but if you can squeeze a bit more out of them in LR as per Stan's suggestion then go for it.

                    Thanks everyone for your kind comments, I went again this morning, stunning light at 0630, not a sign of it, must have gone hunting elsewhere!

                        I'd be delighted to get anything near as good as these, especially #3.
