While in the Galapagos, we spent three nights on the island of Santa Cruz at an African style safari camp. Each night just after the sun went down, a couple of barn owls would call each other from the trees right next to our tent. In fact, this guy actually spent a bit of quality time on our front porch checking us out as much as we were checking him out. Nikon D700, Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm), ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/60th of a second, SB-900 flash (off camera)

Okay, typical eye-level photo. You stood on the back of a turtle and reached high over your head with a blind shot?
Just like you described, Michael, only he wasn’t eye level but more like 15 feet up in a tree.
You have fantastic patience and fantastic luck to get this superb pic and giving me an opportunity to view it.
Wow! Engaging any wild animal in a shot is priceless. Loving the tech details!
He is a beauty!
I’m glad you’re sharing the technical info with us. 😉
