Another of the series of the Short-Eared Owl
This Owl is in approach mode to capture a rodent.

In this This shot, I unfortunately switched to the wrong mode (Program Mode, or "P"), and speed was really slow compared to what I used to use: 1/500s, ISO400 f/5.6, but it came out not that bad finally! I like the blur on the wings...

K-1 + FA*250-600 @ 600mm

That's a wonderful shot Weevil - I look forward to the opportunity to come even close to getting Short-eared Owl shots like that.

Thanks Jacamar, for me it was a lifer! I will hopefully go back to this site to get a better shot if time allow me to do so...

Caught this guy this PM
K-1 + FA*250-600
Light was really low and the bird was pretty far, but the high ISO performance of the Pentax K-1 helped a lot!
If you look closely, you'll notice that there is a twig in the bird's claws. It's because he just captured a rodent, and he's flying to a post to eat its meal.

You're making me want to upgrade to the K1 and pair it up w/the 500 + a TC of sorts!

3 winters later and I finally get to check off Bohemian Waxwings from my short life list

Sharing some capturing of the Red-Legged crake on yesterday. Pictures were shots under extremely low light condition. Taken with my K70 + Sigma 150-500mm HSM. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2017 to everyone here!!

I think I like the third photo best of the three. The second one's green rock detracts from the image for me. Thanks for posting.

INcredible work as always Ken! The forum should do an article on you and your techniques!
Awesome!

Yes I agree, Nice Set kengoh ! You are my idol!

Nice Ken! Like #5 and the last one..
