Sitting Pretty
Went owling with some good friends in South East Washington and Northern Oregon. Khanh Tran was our Guide and he Located this Northern Pygmy Owl. With his voice he was able to call the owl to a location close enough to photograph. I positioned myself so that a tree would be the background instead of the sky. Due to the low light and snowstorm, I had to median average 3 shots to reduce noise. It is rare to have an animal sit still long enough to be able to do this but it really helps on high ISO shots. Then using Topaz AI Clear and DeHaze, along with color calibration adjustments the edit was finished.
