Species: Burrowing Owl | Location: Outside of Salton Sea , United States of America
My boyfriend and I were walking over to the Salton Sea and he pointed out to me that there were two burrowing owls hanging out across the river. I immediately grabbed my camera and began taking photos of them. One of them went back into the little tunnel but the other one maintained eyes on me for a while so I was able to capture the photo that I did.
About The Photographer
I have always had an interest in photography. From a young age, I would carry around disposable kodak cameras and document my life. When I was a teenager, I saved my babysitting money to buy my first digital camera. It was a tiny Sony camera, that probably had the same photo quality of smart phones today. However, at the time that was the biggest purchase I had ever made so I was stoked! Unfortunately, my camera melted in the summer heat shortly after I bought it. From there, I didn't get very serious about photography until my senior year of college. For the first time since I was enrolled, the school offered an introductory photography class, so I immediately signed up. My roommate at the time let me borrow her Nikon D3300 for the class. That class was by far my favorite class out of my college career. The class really opened up my mind to the possibilities with photography and I fell completely in love. After graduating, I bought myself a Nikon D7200 and have been reading different photography books to learn different methods, how to deal with harsh lighting an more. I will forever be a student of photography.
