This week, Sue has set us a specific theme for Macro Moments – ‘Birds’. It’s pretty difficult to get a true macro shot of a bird, I should imagine, so here is a (very) tightly-cropped image of an owl which I took at a display of birds of prey last summer.
Fortunately, I was using my best lens, so I think it has managed to retain enough detail, despite the crop.
Nikon D800 with Nikkor 70-200mm ƒ2.8 lens at 200mm. 1/500 at ƒ4, ISO 100. Cropped and edited in Lightroom.
Macro Moments EWeek 30: Birds
Stunning photo of this barn owl.
Fabulous!
Fantastic shot, you’ve absolutely nailed the focus.
Thank you. It’s tough to go wrong with that lens (just a shame it weighs a ton).
I guess the shot is your reward then for carrying the heavy lens. 🙂
