I'm Keeping You Posted - Snowy Owl
This Snowy is keeping me "posted" as to what is going on.
A lot of Snowy photographers prefer the "Arctic" look - with just snow and without any human structures present.
Here in Quebec, Snowys are often found perched on farmer's fence-posts and other structures, which frankly, adds depth to a photo.
The usual Canon equipment @ 1/1600, f/14, ISO 400.
This one was formatted and framed at 12 x 16.
Cheers,
Mike
Full Frontal - Snowy Owl
Canon 100-400L lens handheld @ 1/1600, f18, ISO 400, -2/3 exposure compensation.
Slight crop to straighten the horizon and to format for a 12 x 16 frame.
Severl snow reflections clonned away. I decided to leave the corn stalks. Eyes slightly lightened to reduce shadow and unveil the yellow. The sky looks a little blotchy, but that's because of image's low optimised resolution - the original is okay.
Cheers,
Mike
