青い背景で飛ぶコミミズク, Short-eared owl flying on blue background.
2020年2月7日、順光撮影を目的に橋の南側にある手賀川の堤防に行った。コミミズクが手賀川の橋を背景にしてほぼ順光状態で飛んだ。堤防には6，7人の撮影者がいたが私は堤防の上を歩行中だったので、偶然、彼らとは反対側から順光状態でコミミズクを撮影できた。
On February 7, 2020, I went to the Tega River embankment on the south side of Aoyagi Bridge for the purpose of direct light photography. A short-eared owl flew almost in direct light against the background of the bridge. There were six or seven photographers on the embankment, but I was walking on the embankment, so I happened to be able to photograph the owl in direct light from the opposite side of them.
今度は、コミミズクが堤防の北側を飛んだ。コミミズクは飛びながら顔をこちらに向けた。シャッター音を聞いたからかな？でもさらに近づいてきて飛び去った。順光状態の写真を撮れた。
This time, the owl flew north of the embankment. The owl turned the face to me while flying. Is it because the own heard the shutter sound? But the owl came closer and flew away. I was able to take pictures in direct light condition.
