I was at Boundary Bay in search of snowy owls for three days. All three of those days started out in heavy overcast, misty/foggy conditions. Mist can be death to photographs when trying to use a long lens for frame filling images. So I tried to work with the mist by lining up elements to create depth in the scene. In this shot, I was able to line the foreground owl up with the one in the background on the log and then further back the water. All in all, a more moody composition than if the sun was in the clear and on the horizon. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 360mm) ISO 1600, f/11 at 1/80th of a second
You’re definitely blessed with being at the right place, at the right time with the right equipment… really enjoy looking at this one. You even got three thumbs up from my three kids.

Great mood set…I feel the stir of SciFi 60s.
Beautiful and mysterious. Thanks for the composition guideline.
Looks like a scene from Harry Potter!! <3
This is all kinds of creepy in the best way possible. Love it, Sean.
Very nice

Cool effect! And I think the owls were the perfect animals to be photographed in the mist. Totally goes with their character.
Beautiful
