15 minutes before sunrise, I struck paydirt! November 15th is a bit early to find a Snowy Owl in the Duluth area, but who is complaining. It was a great morning. Taking a photograph this long before sunup is a bit challenging. Thankfully owls tend to often sit very, very still. Even with a rather motionless subject and an ISO setting of 1,600, I could only get an exposure setting of 1/40th of a second. However by sunrise the owl was calling it quits for the day and no longer hunting.
