p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Owl landing

Totally silent in flight and extremely graceful, we get to witness this snowy owl land in these heavily cropped images. I'll let the owl narrate.

-1 Here you can see stunning markings as I brake to land

-2 I'm in the classic landing position

-3 I'll be on the ground in a moment

-4 How embarrassing! Not only did I land on my ass, that photographer got pictures of my clumsiness!

Thank you Armd,

I used a D600 + Sigma 150-600 Sport @ 600mm and cropped heavily. My lens reports the incorrect focal length for 600mm

That would be funny Karl. Possibly I'll create that. I think the owl braked too hard and then a gust of wind caught it's wings. You can see that starting in the next to the last image.
