25 Gorgeous Photos Of Owls
Owls are without a doubt one of the most stunning bird species. Because of their incredibly deep and piercing eyes and somewhat haunting appearance, many myths and folktales revolve around them. The same goes for photography – owls are amazing models due to their dramatic looks.
Photographing wildlife, in general, requires a lot of patience, observation skills and to be ready to shoot the action when it happens. Indeed, photographing any animal is nothing less than photographing portraits of humans. So when thinking about a portrait of your slithery or furry friend, it is always the eyes that need to be in sharp focus and make sure you get “up, close and personal” where it is possible (avoid any dangerous situations) for some compelling portraits.
Close portraits of animals can be really intriguing or impactful and can also make way for any distractions to disappear. It also defines the features of the animal so well!
