HCT Owls

The excellent Hawk Conservancy Trust again, this time shooting owls. The owl display in the summer is at the end of the day, in quite a dark wood. It’s brilliant, but not too great for photography. In winter it’s the first show, and this time I was lucky enough to be there on a sunny day, and to have a great camera with me. I was using the Olympus E-M1x, which had just received a firmware upgrade. This was a testing session to see how the new setup worked, and I was quite pleased with the results.

Photographs in this album include: Eagle owl, Great Grey Owl, Tawny owl, Barn Owl, Owly McOwlface, and more.
