This Snowy Owl at dusk stands on guard in a wind-swept field with dancing billowing snow at its feet and a background formed by a far-off forest.

As you can tell by looking at my photos, I enjoy birds in dynamic poses. But once in a while, I break with my preferences to present a posed bird as a portrait.

This, and many more of my photos will be on exhibit, printed on canvas and framed in wooden frames next weekend the 6, 7 and 8th of July at the outdoor
"Village en arts" art symposium at St-Nicolas on the south shore near Quebec City. My wife, Louise Labbé will also exhibit her nature oil paitings.

Canon 7D with the 500L f/4 lens handheld @ 1/1000, f/8, ISO 400, -2/3 exposure compensation. Very slight crop to format to a 12 x 16 frame.



EXPOSITION d'art champêtre: Village en arts, le 6, 7 et 8 juillet, 2012 sous les chapiteaux dans le parc Le Picart et rue De l'Entente du quartier Saint-Nicolas à Lévis.

Mon épouse Louise Labbé exposera aussi ses tableaux d'oiseaux.

Cheers,

Mike
