I took advantage of a sunny day yesterday to head to Boundary Bay, BC Canada to photograph Snow Owls. The number of owls, reported to be around 2 dozen, were well outnumbered by the photographers.
What a great day overall, even though I almost got stuck in the Great Canadian Mud.
Most of these are full frame, one has a bit of "empty" taken off the bottom, another from the right side. Some nice close fly-by's:
Take-Off, this was cropped about 20%:
The next two were cropped about 30%. These are an example of getting lucky when someone who is not careful flushes an owl.
Landing Flaps Down:
Landing Gear Deployed:
And I still have more to go. Needless to say, for me this was a great trip. I'm anxiously awaiting Jim's pictures as well as Louie's. As we were together I saw an Owl flying directly toward us and let everyone know. I could not get a shot as everyone was in my way, but I think Jim got that one head-on, should be great I think.
