Photograph Barn Owls at night in North Norfolk
Our night time feeding site attracts both Barn and Tawny Owls which come to food. The site is lit with lamps to aid focussing, however flash is required. You can bring your own flash or if you wish use David’s off camera flash setup used to take the image above. The birds come very close, a focal range of around 100 mm is ideal for much of the shoot but an ability to shoot up to 250 mm is recommended if we use a secondary location in the meadow.
You will be sitting or standing in a meadow so in winter wrap up warm. The session lasts for 2 hours and we start around an hour after dusk. Meeting point and time will be arranged at time of booking.
Times
Depending on the time of year will depend on what time the owls are fed. It is always after dark and the most productive period is from January through to mid May. Typically in winter our meeting time is 6.30pm and the session lasts 2 hours.
Recommended Gear
Ideally equipment that has a telephoto ability between 70 and 300 mm. I have a twin flash off camera setup with controller so you do not need to worry about flash if you have not used it before. Equally if you wish to bring your own setup you are very welcome.
Whats included
All transportation from an agreed pick up and drop off point, normally in Holt or depending on where you are staying we can pick you up and drop you off at your accommodation. Provision of flash setup.
