This shot was taken at John Ball Zoo in Grand Rapids. It is no piece of art nor does it excell in any other area. What is interesting is the explanation of how it was taken. While strolling through the zoo with my Nikon D7000 equipped with a 70-300mm zoom, I came upon this owl in a medium fine wire cage. He was holding perfectly still, and I thought that it was a good opportunity to come away with a cha cha for later processing. I opened the aperature wide and moved as closely as I could in order to obscure the wire cage and focus on the owl's eye. I took the first shot, but was not satisfied that the lens had focused properly. I proceded to take the shot again to assure that I had a properly focused image. Milliseconds before taking the second shot, the owl moved his head to the side. Satisfied that I has a properly focused shot, I started to take the second shot for the cha cha. At that time, the owl moved his entire body. I then gave up the effort, thinking that I would have to be satisfied with a 2D image of this critter. At home, I looked at the two images side by side, and they looked eerily like a stereo pair. Out of curiosity, I placed the pair into SPM, aligned the images, and found that the head of the owl, and only the head, was perfect stereo. The remainder of the image appeared to be perfect 2D. It probably is the strangest looking 3D shot that I ever took. I cropped the head, and ran the picture through Photoshop, using Fractalius at a low setting to enhance the appearance of the feathers. ...Just thought the group would find this interesting. Ray
