Photo of the Week - April 22, 2018 - "HOVER-CRAFT" - Great Gray Owl
"HOVER- CRAFT"
Great Gray Owl (3 Photos)
This was truly Nature's gift. The owl had been sitting on an electrical pole when it flew off into the field. It flew up and literally hovered before diving down to the snow covered field. Unfortunately, for the owl - no success but for me, an incredible opportunity to catch a master flyer. I may be "old school" but I don't use photo layering (removing elements or adding them in) in my photography nor do I believe in baiting of any kind. When you can catch moments like these, the rewards are ever so sweet knowing that you have captured wildlife in its true elements with no human interference.
