Unacceptable Rypstra
148 (2) Success
A Barn Owl during the flight show at the Pacific Northwest Raptor Center. (Duncan, BC).
This is one of the few in-flight shots I managed. I suspected the 400 mm lens would be too big for the flight field, and I was right. I was standing on the last bench, backed up against a row of bushes, and found that there just wasn't enough line of sight to get a decent lead on the birds before they flew by. This was hand held, and an experiment, since the 400 mm is the only decent long lens I have. The last time I was here I had a 75-300 mm kit lens with poor clarity and produced purple aura around whites, even on cloudy days...
