Hey Folks,

I have spent quite a few mornings this week out in St. Catherine's photographing the Snowy Owl (don't worry Dave, nowhere near 100 hours  :wink: ).
This is the best opportunity I have found to get some great shots of a Snowy.
I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed taking them.

Thanks
Meghan

Wicked stuff Meghan!  I pondered the journey but after reading about police now moving the crowds, not sure if it was a trip to even bother.

Amazing and wonderful! I assume the scene out there is intolerable? Police moving crowds? Good Lord, what's wrong with bird photographers anyhow? Insert emoticons here, etc.

 :lol:  Thanks Richard.

Thanks Rob and David, it's really not that bad down there. I went in the week so there is less crowds. But still quite a few people. Thursday morning there was even a class trip. The only time the police really show up is when people trespass, then the locals call the cops and they move everyone out. It is the only way they can keep people off of the private property the Owl is on.
But for the most part everyone behaves themselves and stays on the side of the road. A friend of mine went yesterday and said there was about 80 people there so if you can go in the week, that's what I would recommend.

Thanks Katherine, it took a few days but I am super happy with what I have. Glad you like them.

Hey Meghan

    Looks like you out did yourself again on these great photos, just outstanding, your exposure is right on the money. Wish I was there too. Hope you didn't get locked in this time and get stuck. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:    
Great work.

Wow... all really good, but 1 and 3 are stunning. Haven't been out around here so don't know if they're in the area. Lots of them last year.
 What lens did you have on ?

Thanks Clemens
Howard helped me with the exposure so I can't take any credit for that

Thanks very much. For these I was using a 500mm F4.
You need the reach for these guys, they like to stay waayyyy out in the fields.
Welcome to the forum as well  :D
