Inverness Inverness photographer captures stunning photo of owl in motion By Reporter June 24 2020, 6:45 am June 24 2020, 6:45 am Share Inverness photographer captures stunning photo of owl in motion Share via Facebook Twitter Whatsapp Messenger Linkedin Email Post link https://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/fp/news/inverness/2281595/inverness-photographer-captures-stunning-photo-of-owl-in-motion/ Copy Link Owl in flight captured by amateur photographer Harald Huber in Inverness. This stunning photograph shows an owl with its wings motion – like a hummingbird’s. The snap was taken using a slow shutter speed, meaning the movement of the wings has become a blur. Amateur photographer Harald Huber has been visiting the mother owl and her four chicks near where he lives in Inverness. He used a 1/40 shutter speed to capture the bird’s wings in motion. The 46-year-old said: “It was pure fluke, I could hear this noise in the forest and I went to see what it was. “It was a nest with owl babies, I managed to get closer to them. “Sometimes the mother stays there and poses for me.” Mr Huber, who works as a carpenter, first noticed the owl family a fortnight ago. The father-of-three said: “I decided to give them peace as I don’t want to disturb the babies. “It was rather dark and I reduced the shutter speed right down to try and get something like that. “It looks more like a hummingbird than an owl.”
