Lemme Outta Here!
These are two young barn owls who were hatched and raised in this owl nesting box on our property. I took this pictures last night around 9 o'clock at which point the owls had been cooped up (literally) inside for at least fifteen hours. The lower owl had previously flown for the first time the previous evening, and right after this image was taken he hopped out on the perch and took off for a flight. While he was gone, for about ten minutes, the other owl screeched nonstop. It had never been alone before in the owl box except when the other owl flew last night. It should be flying in a day or two.
I lit this with a two bare strobes on a light stands; on either side of the box, pointing up at the it. The strobes in manual mode were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N, which also acted as the remote shutter control for my camera. Pretty handy.
I have all of my owl pictures in my Barn Owl set which can be seen here. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157630045851110/...
