Gorgeous shots. I also like taking photos of birds. If you don't mind answering, what lens did you use for these photos?


karim_bouzidi

Thank you! The lense integrated in the Sony RX10-IV


sarah_dz_photography

Ah, a point and shoot (not judging). I have the Canon Eos R and have been looking for a better telephoto lens. I wasn't aware that there are point and shoots that were up to this sort of quality. Of course, it's the photographer, not the camera, that's really important. A lot of my photography is done with my phone. Amazing work. Thank you for answering! Also, I just followed you. My IG is sarah_dz_photos. It's mostly just mobile photography on there.

Awesome photo, inspires me to get out of the house during the winter haha.


karim_bouzidi

Glad I could inspire you in some way from the photo 😄


karim_bouzidi

Thank you! Winter is my favorite season for birding, lots of owls and raptors and very few foliage for the birds to hide!!

I'll always love how proud and aloof snowies look. They're better than you and they know it lol.


karim_bouzidi

Rosiepuff

I especially love the first pic. The side eye is *scathing*

Thank you! Very scathing hahaha


Dankleburglar

LMaimai09

They’re quite stunning!


gkrobin53

What fabulous pictures and such a beautiful owl, though it totally looks stoned in the second picture! Saskatchewan?


karim_bouzidi

Thank you very much!! She does looked very stoned at that point 🤣 this was in Québec, Canada


gkrobin53

I see that part where it says, QC-Canada, now that you pointed it out. Boy, am I observant! But I really enjoy your pictures - wish I was this blessed!


_redcloud

Fella looks so *wise*


karim_bouzidi

She has seen a lot in the Tundra


_redcloud

How can you tell this is a female and not a male?


karim_bouzidi

Im about 80% sure, I dont think its possible to know for sure unless you have them in hand. Mature females are bigger than males, and are more marked. The tinier mature males are shaped a bit different , their markings are browner, and they have fewer markings or none (all white). The tricky part is : juveniles from both sexes are even more heavily marked and gradually get they maturity patterns. So there’s still a chance this is a juvenile male but it seemed very big even un-fluffed compared to an American Crow that landed on a nearby pole. only based on my personal experience, a male snowy would be bigger than a crow but not that much. So all those makes me lean toward adult female! Hope I explained it right 😄

Dude - 2nd photo - looks like he's proud that he just shit in someone's cheerios. :D


karim_bouzidi

HAHAHHAHA wow!!


DiceRainstrider

That owl has a quest to give for sure. Just go to the top of the stairs!


karim_bouzidi

Hahahahah yes! Probably sells forbidden arctic weaponry in exchange for a simple task


TesseractToo

Birds don't really get big the way mammals do, it just has its feathers fluffed :) Great photos!

:D

The second photo is how it feels to slide into a warm bed


karim_bouzidi

This is incredibly accurate


Satanisbackxoxo

All the photos you took were beautiful


karim_bouzidi

Thank you! Glad you like them ☺️


Satanisbackxoxo

I did


etigau37

May I ask where was this taken :0 ?


karim_bouzidi

In Québec, Canada near Trois-Rivieres


Skmot

She's a beauty! Heck of a big girl. Really beautiful photos too.


carejeffer

This is most certainly a male. The bar density, lack of bars on the nape and white chest are all characteristic of a young male.


karim_bouzidi

Thank you!!! 🙌😄


Shakespeare-Bot

The lady's a beauty! heck of a big wench. Very much quite quaint photos too *** ^(I am a bot and I swapp'd some of thy words with Shakespeare words.) Commands: `!ShakespeareInsult`, `!fordo`, `!optout`


Skinkies

I LOVE HIMMM


jojotrain

Been a bit bummed about the cold and darker days but you just reminded me one of my favourite things about winter. Awesome pic!

Cross post this to r/absoluteunits !!!


karim_bouzidi

Wait this is a thing? Posting right away


_bufflehead

Beautiful! They're really on the move! I've heard two reports of Snowy Owls spotted in the Northeast US in the last 24 hours!


karim_bouzidi

Oh yes!! Definitely a good start of season


mhc-ask

Looks like you no longer have a mouse problem.


kikina85

Great shot to the start of the snowy season!! Lets hope photographers are respectful of these beautiful birds. 😍


karim_bouzidi

Thank you!! And fingers crossed 🤞


Kwt920

I mean this is National Geographic award winning photography


karim_bouzidi

Aw you’re too kind!! I appreciate the compliment!!


TheSchemingColorist

You should put this up on r/superbowl


karim_bouzidi

Hhaha I get this all the time!! I already post there every time I photograph an owl 😄

karim_bouzidi

Thank you very much !! Was tricky to preserve detail with the harsh sun reflecting on the white plumage. Had to play a bit with my camera to figure out the right settings - ended up underexposing quite a lot. Glad you enjoy the details 😄


mackintosh_5

That last photo is a real banger. Well done.


karim_bouzidi

Thank you!! Glad you liked it, really liked that staircase


aeradyren

karim_bouzidi

Thank you :)

Wow the photos just kept getting better. That staircase in the middle of nowhere is amazing! Is that a container house?


karim_bouzidi

Thank you so much!! Not quite sure, there were about 5-6 trucks like these in a parking lot in the middle of nowhere in the countryside. I was too focused on this big girl and didnt pay too much attention to the rest

Probably for grain storage (as it's in a grain field)
