Great Grey Owl catching a mouse, Finland.Nikon D3, 300mm, 2,8, 1/1600sek @ f /2,8, ISO 800
Today was very difficult with dark weather and wind. The Great Grey Owl was not very happy to come out and almost seemed nervous as the wind was whistling in the forest. But as always - animals have to eat. Eventually it came out hunting and we got some decent shots. I was very happy to be working with the D3, pushing the ISO to get the proper shutterspeed for action. But the conditions were also good for experimenting with slower speed and movement. I was also shooting with the D3x giving me some nice portraits and images of the perching bird.

Cheers Roy!
I also spent some days with this amazing bird and I did all the shooting with my D3x and used the D3 for wide angle shots. The D3x nailed all the action and I got amazingly huge files.
So You are a Nikon convert now?
Your photos are amazing, I look forward to more!!!
