p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Snowy owl in fog


We had crazy weather hear in NYC on Sunday with a high of 71f and very humid. At the beach it was 43f, 30 MPH sustained wind with gusts to who knows what and pea soup fog. When I arrived my friend had already found the owl and following his directions I was 100 feet away and could not see him or the owl. Finally at about 75 feet I could see the glow of the owl on the dune as seen in image one. These photos are from different sides of the dune.

Beautiful series, Morris! I love the progression, which is all the more enjoyable with your narrative.

Tough shooting with the weather and the owl in the twigs. I like the close up! Don

Very nice perspectives. The last three have surprising clarity and detail under the circumstances. Well done.

Thank you Dale,

My flash is on top of the camera. At these distances, you'd need to go off camera to get shadows. If I want shadows, I let the sun be the key light

Happy Holidays,

Morris

Thank you David,

I have not seen the snowy owls once with blue sky this year. I do hope I get clear sky or sky that lets the sun through at sunset

Happy Holidays,

Morris

Thank you Brian,

For the last 3, I exposed for the whites and the blacks were a bit gray because of the fog. I move the black point to have a better histogram producing the nice contrast while maintaining a natural look

Happy Holidays,

Morris

Another good looking owl set Morris. Must be a lot of fun keeping the lens clean in those conditions.
