Back Lighting Owls

On good sunny days wildlife photographers usually work hard to get the sun behind them to give their subjects the benefit of full sunshine without harsh shadows but given a situation where the sun or subject position demands otherwise can often come up with some striking images.

While working with Short eared Owls in bright sunlight yesterday I often found myself in the above situation and some of my result are posted below.

My next Blog will be on hunting Shorties and it will be posted later today !
