I've posted pictures of this guy before, but they never get old. Such a majestic creature...
He was at some distance from the camera in the photo at bottom, so it's fairly cropped in. The focus was not perfect but it looks as though it were captured in a rural setting in spite of the large crowds below. The owl was selectively sharpened and brightened just a tad to make him stand out in front of the busy background.
Shots such as these make the $800 spent on my only lens for the Big Cahoona (so far) very much worth it...no way could these have even been attempted with the Fujifilm s7000 from days gone by. The 200mm zoom, which is equivalent to 300mm on my CX sensor, has me thoroughly spoiled! For that reason I'll be patient in waiting to purchase faster glass with the same zoom capabilities, now priced at $2,400...
The photo at top was, obviously, taken from much closer (about ten feet away), and it was no trouble finding the eye for sharp focus.
