A few days ago I was fortunate to photograph a family of Burrowing Owls. These little birds are so expressive and cute. I don't see them often so when I do, I want to make the shot. During the last time of photographing, the light was less than ideal. The light was coming from slightly above and behind the owls. This caused the image light to be somewhat harsh. Still, I made it work. Fast-forward a few days. A friend and I went out to catch the golden hour light. We were lucky to find the family of owl out AND in a location that allowed the light to fall on them perfectly. There were no harsh shadows and the light gave them a nice, soft color. Below are a few images from the most recent trip. Compare them to the previous images and I think you will see what I mean.
