Male Eastern Screech-Owl in the moonlight. Seriously, only moonlight, 2.5 second exposure. Dane County, WI 2024-04-23, 3:00 am.
How does anyone in Wisconsin sleep if that’s the moon at 3am??? 😧
That’s nuts! I wonder if it was a full moon or if Wisconsin is just like that
Exactly! I saw the picture and thought it was an ok pic, but then I read the caption and that really elevated it to something impressive. This one may be a little more superbphotographer!
Now I need to see if that’s a community here lol (I almost wrote subreddit lmao)
Wait, this was a moonlight picture!? That’s nuts. I would need super blackout shades, I’m super light sensitive.
Also a great photo.
Username checks out 😜
I didn’t know you could get that much light even with a longer exposure. I don’t know much about photography, but it sounded impressive to me.
Well yes. There’s a reason I’m just tired all the time lol.
But yeah, even with night vision or whatever equivalent it is this is close to pretty much being a day time picture. There’s none of the usual night picture markers.
Beautiful
I think the lighting lends a nice smoothing filter style effect to the owl. It looks extra soft.
