One of three frames I made during my brief encounter with this beauty while cruising the backroads looking for ….. owls :) Only two spots are left for my winter Snowy Owl Workshops in January.

The 2023 Sony Roadshow was a huge success! We drove almost 11,000km across Canada and back in mixed conditions: It was beautiful to leave during the peak of Autumn colour in Quebec and Ontario and then drive all the way back across Canada in the snow!
Special shout-out to the team at Sony Canada, Vistek, Don’s Camera, McBain Camera, Henry’s and London Drugs for sponsoring the events!

Snowy Owl ICE TALON (Bubo scandiacus, Harfang des neiges, SNOW) from my Snowy Owl Workshop in Ontario, Canada. Sony a9 II Camera body, Sony 600mm f/4 GM OSS Lens, Sony FE 1.4X Teleconverter @ 840mm F/5.6 ISO 1,600 1/3,200s.
There was light freezing rain that caused a thin layer of ice over the freshly fallen snow. I love the way the talons are gripping the ice as this young female Snowy Owl takes flight.
I had my Sony a9 II Camera body, Sony 600mm f/4 GM OSS Lens, Sony FE 1.4X Teleconverter mounted on my Wimberly Head II all ready, with my Sony RMT-P1BT Wireless Remote Commander tucked into my mitten and ready for the blastoff; so nice to keep my hands warm inside my mitts when triggering my camera via the bluetooth remote!
