cyprus little owl
In 2018 I was fortunate to visit some friends in Cyprus for two weeks. Having packed all my camera gear, I was able to travel the island releasing the shutter for over 7,000 pictures of people, scenery, architecture (in one instance close proximity to a prison led to my being detained, interrogated, and my camera confiscated by police who interrogated me believing me to be a spy; a memory one does not easily forget), and birds. This Little Owl was in the distance on a hillside in the shadows, with the setting sun at its back. The lighting was a challenge, the rule of "sun at your back", was impossible, but I was glad for a tripod and some good images. Canon 5DM3 iso 320, f9, 400s 840mm
