Continuing the owl theme, here are a few from the Leeds Castle falconry display (more of the castle later)
I was surrounded by a group of compact camera users, and the shouts of "NOOO CHANCE!!!" as the birds screamed past was rather amusing.
I flicked to closest subject dynamic AF, continuous focussing, 5fps and 640 ISO, then kept my finger on the shutter and prayed!
Here's part of a sequence of 10 shots, when the eagle owl was sent dive bombing over a line of volunteers. Probably a good thing that the girl in red had her eyes shut!
D200+18-200VR at 105mm, 640 ISO, f5.6, 1/1500th
