For owls that are superb.

One of the challenges in my bird photography is capturing birds in flight. What is the position of the sun, what is a good spot, where does the bird often pass by in flight, from what angle is best to take it. Once you have analyzed that, it is time to set your Z8 camera properly for the fast movements and light. This beautiful long-eared owl was not distracted by me and was focused on its daily prey. It flew beautifully into the first sunlight, so its bright eyes and plumage show how beautiful the owl is during its flight. It was a wonderful moment to capture this. And my Z8 did not let me down, a great wildlife camera that named Nikki. Nikki and l are inseparable when we go outdoors looking for beautiful photo locations.

When I'm that distracted I'll run into a lamp post. Guaranteed. Let's hope that owl manages it better.

It certainly sounds like it gave a solid effort at it! Barred Owls don't fool around! 😆
