Saw both short eared owls and a barn owl this evening. This one was shot at ISO 8,000.

Thought I'd share. More owls from today on my flickr

I'm not normally into wildlife, flower and insect photos, but that is one stunner of a pic!!! Just love the way it's glaring at the camera too.

This is an incredible image Alan, certainly a challenging subject to capture well.

I'm with Smeggy when it comes to natural history but sometimes an absolute stunner comes along that grabs my attention. This is one such.
8000 ISO: Its got to be with a K5 or K30.

Depends on the shutter speed.

To paraphrase Frank Carson "that is a cracker".

Fantastic image quality for ISO 8,000. Is that the famed high iso performance of the K5 I keep reading about?
