Lapinpöllö is Finnish for Great Grey Owl (Strix nebulosa)Nikon D3, 300mm, 2,8, 1/1600 sek @ f /2,8, ISO 1000
Luckily my luggage arrived during the night, so everything was ready for the next day. And what a day! Ever since I had my first meeting with the Great Grey Owl in 2002 I have been dreaming about the next time we would meet.
I am in Finnish Lapland and have been spending the entire afternoon with a beautiful female Great Grey Owl. It was amazing to observe this bird hunting in the forest clearing, diving into the snow with its long legs. Unfortunately Liodden and I are only in Finland for a couple of days before we go to Svalbard next week, but already I feel privileged to have had this experience. Hopefully there will be more tomorrow.
PS! Thanks Arnt Ove at Stavanger Foto for lending me some Nikon gear. It works ;-)

Kjekt å se at dere lykkes i Finland. Ser du holder på å convertere til Nikon du også. Snakket med Stig Frode i Canada og han har gjort det samme..Ser frem til flere bilder fra turen.
Mvh

full klaff dette her roy
isomonsteret d3 er nok helt perfekt til slike fluktbilder som dette
det nederste bildet ser jo nesten uvirkelig ut:-)
har aldri sett noe slikt bilde av lappugla som det nederste bildet
blir det nikon for alle penga nå?
mvh anders selland
Takk for kommentarene.
Jeg er veldig fornøyd med det jeg har opplevd med Nikon så langt. Skal bli spennende å printe noen store D3x filer når jeg kommer hjem.
Mvh, Roy
