To revive the topic I'll post an oldie (not posted before).
Taking it made me very aware of the AF limitations of the 50D - even though it was in a predictable environment at the World Owl Trust in Cumbria UK (they are in the process of moving to the Midlands)
cheers, Wiebe

Another couple of stationary shots from the same bird;
the ear tufts standing out while they aren't visible "in flight".
Pity its head is mounted the wrong way : in the first picture

Thanks Graham.
Nice shots Wiebe. I particularly like the shot of the owl with his head cranked around.

I'd like slightly high res photos though.

Slightly off-topic :-[
What would you consider a good resolution for the forum?
I usually keep them reduced to ~1800H x 1200V (pixels) for up-/download size but also to reduce the interest in copying (/stealing...)

Just curious , Wiebe

If steeling is an issue then you have no choice but to keep them down. I've kind of ignored the concept because I haven't been doing any business via my photos and so post 1600 wide.

If you have concern, don't do it.
