I never did share this sequence from 5 years ago. It was pouring rain in March 2014 on a local farm which housed several snowy owls for the winter since November 2013. I would park near a favorite post perch and shoot from my vehicle, using it as a blind. This snowy owl launched from his favorite post perch at an attempt to capturing a vole, which he did successfully. Unfortunately, my 1D mark IV suffered buffer overload from the burst of shots leading up to shot 8... then he flipped and gulped down a vole which I was unable to capture. My camera didn't recover fast enough to shoot again until he landed back on his favorite perch. Looking back, I wish I had used a larger aperture and a much lower iso.
4 and 10 for me Herb as I love the eyes. The entire set is enjoyable and the quality is there. I don't mind the noise though some might. I recall when you were posting the photos from this location and it's great to see a few more.
The best thing about this set, is that each shot surpasses the preceding ones. I loved 1, 5, 7, 9 and 10, but if I had to select the top 3, those would be 10, 7 and 9.
Wonderful bird, and lovely shots, Herb!
