I really enjoy this thread and finally have one I can contribute.

This is looking back as I hiked up the beach at Parker River NWR trying to find a Snowy Owl. Just missed one. A guy ~100 yds in front of me saw one in between dunes (blocking my view), ran up to it and scared the owl off. He happily showed me his pictures of it flying off....

But, at least I got this shot:

7D, EFS 15-85 @ 15 mm, 1/500, f/8, ISO 100 with a cokin grad 2 stop ND filter



Thanks for viewing....Brant
