Hi Jochen,

What camera and lens? Was it all hand held or on a monopod or tripod?
Did you special noise software eg Topaz denoise AI or DXO Raw Prime …?


Super photos!

Thanks Magnus.

These were all shot with a Nikon Z9 and 500mm pf lens. The first two were handheld, the rest on a tripod with a gimbal head.

Part of my workflow indeed sends the images through Topaz Denoise, followed by the typical editing in Lightroom and/or Photoshop.

Wow!!!! absolutely fabulous, I would say the Barn owl is my favourite as I love the lighting :bow :bow :bow

Where did you see the Black winged Kite, surely not in Belgium? hopefully on holiday in sunny Spain?

Thanks Alexandra.

Close, south of France 🙂. Besides the occasional sighting in spring, we don’t really have Black-winged kites in Belgium indeed (same in the UK I guess).

:) we don't have Black winged Kites here either, we have only just got back the Red Kites, being reintroduced over the last 40 years as we killed them all prior to that. To be honest, I have never seen a Black winged Kite and I have holidayed in France and Spain all my life, so they must be very rare! well caught :bow
