Owls By Night Shoot

October 23, 2018  •  Leave a Comment

None stop this weekend, culminating in an Owls by Night workshop at the national centre for birds of prey in North Yorkshire.

Photographing at night in low light is always a challenge, especially as no flash was permitted to be used. The owls are particularly sensitive to bright light, so that only left the light from a small handheld torch, which did not give off a great deal off illumination.

A sturdy tripod and fast shutter speed was the order of the day, along with a very high ISO on my camera. But it was worth while as the shots that did come out I was pleased with, also the owl handlers did state that they have not had any usable images from previous events due to the lighting conditions.
