Snowy

It's been forever since I've posted, but with all of the hoopla around snowy owls in Washington, I'm back. First thanks to Max Wough for providing me a few details about Damon Point.
My partner and I were out on the point before dawn and left after dark both days we were there. I was a little bit weary of being around so many other photographers chasing the same birds, but for the most part, everyone was respectful of each other and more importantly, respectful of the owls(a couple of minor exceptions).
This was taken before first light and I kind of like the high key look here, even though there is no catchlight, etc. I have a 1000+ images to go through with every lighting situation, perch, backround, etc that I can think of. It was an amazing experience.

I had breakfast with Charlie Van Tessel three mornings in a row at the hotel and didn't even make the NPN connection. I also failed to meet Dennis Plank and another member or two that were there.

OH Well.

This was a quick PS job, hope it's ok
