Ethan,

Thanks for the directions. I went out there yesterday and had a great time photographing the owls. At one point as I started moving away from one it started flying towards me and landed well within the 150 feet safe distance. I held still and took a few images before slowly moving away. I've put a few of the images up on my web site on the art page for March:


I used a Nikon D700 with a 500mm F1.4P, an older lens but the first one with a chip for autoexposure (still manual focus). I set the ISO up around 640 -1200 for a little depth of field at F6.3 and fast exposures (something I could never have done with film).

I found a map showing good locations at Damon Point from Elliot Omiya at birdingonthe.net tweeter's list.

Anyway, Thanks again, 

Scott Newell

Point Damon State Park at Ocean Shores (3+ hours drive). The road is washed out. You walk south along the water about 2 miles, then head inland (East) and seek out the snowy owls where they?re perched.

Cheers,
Ethan

Dear POV,

The owl remained fatigued. This one has as much eye exposure as any.

 

Taken with Canon EOS 20D with 100-400 mm zoom Series 1 at full mag (= 640 mm).

 

Cheers,
Ethan
