I was lucky enough to have the camera ready when she took a rest this time. About 5 seconds after this was taken she spotted a group of deer at the edge of the field.

I had just returned from a hike with one of my dogs. I had my camera along for the hike but didn't find anything until almost back to the house. It is a Barred Owl. It did not spook easily. It flew off after a few minutes of me taking pictures, which was immediately after the dog started barking at it. <br /><br />I get a little freaked out if I stare at his eyes for too long.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7925145851898810-4739837084218103117?l=mirrorflaps.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280093616462454648noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925145851898810.post-64008207598357193502008-01-26T19:16:00.001-08:002008-01-28T11:52:42.701-08:00There is something very satisfying about capturing a moment in time in a well composed photo. I take a lot of pictures. Sometimes I am lucky and one jumps out from a pile of quick shots. Sometimes I take the necessary time to get a good one. I don't have a lot of lens options. Someday I hope to expand my arsenal of camera gear and see where it leads me.<br /><br />Today I shoot with...<br /><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">- <strong>Canon 30D DSLR</strong></span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">- Kit lens - 18-55mm</span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">- Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM</span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">- Sigma 75-300mm </span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">- lensbaby 2.0<br />- basic tripod</span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;">- filters: circ pol, haze, soft focus, UV</span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#6666cc;"></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7925145851898810-6400820759835719350?l=mirrorflaps.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>bhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01280093616462454648noreply@blogger.com0
