Number of factors come into play when attempting to photograph the Great White Owls from the North.
– first off you start by putting in many hours and driving many miles in order to succeed.
– you would need to search out locations with habitat that may provide a good food source.
– areas with signs, posts and poles are something the owls use to perch on and hunt from.
– understanding not every owl is cooperative and many fly off before getting a chance to lift the camera.
– direction of approach…paying attention to location of the sun and taking into account any wind
– patience…slow and easy is the best bet and can take minutes or hours.
– attempting to anticipate what may occur…sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
– it’s just that simple.
