"It Sent Tingles Down My Spine For Hours": Owl Lands On This Photographer's Lens, Ends Up Blending In Perfectly

Photography is all about catching that perfect moment. And depending on what you’re catching, that moment might be a mere second that’s just too hard to snap because it happens so fast, or it can be an hour, but it’s an hour every fifty years or so. In any case, moments are precious because of this.

The whole photoshoot actually lasted about an hour with the owl doing a lot of fly-bys whilst hunting. But it's definitely worth it. According to Beau, not only is it very rewarding to actually find the owl, but also the time spent with it and, obviously, being able to nail a nice shot of it in flight. Beau loved the great outdoors from a very young age—being in nature, looking for animals, collecting things, etc. But his dedication to nature and wildlife really took off when he bought his first DSLR and decided to start taking it on hikes and backpacking. He felt like he had fallen in love with nature again.
