Macro Moments Week 30: Quizzical Owl
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.

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. 🙂
