The other day I came across a professional photographer's website, and one of his recommended spots is only five minutes from our house (Farmington Bay). So I went out there to shoot, and what do you know I meet the guy. He let me shoot with some of his high-end equipment for a little while. Nice guy. Anyway, these are all from my camera. I love the barn owl shot, I think it turned out pretty well. I have some others of him (the owl) hunting which are pretty good, just a little blurry (not the highest quality lens). The hawk was eating something I watched him catch only a couple of minutes before.
