  • Story of the image

    I was looking for owls in the open air, with the help of my local guides; we had an idea of ​​where they were singing. When we arrived at the area, they fell silent, but looking ahead, we realized they were right in front of us.

    With a telephoto lens on the tripod, I waited and took a light painting shot to capture the stars' brilliance in the background and not disturb them with constant light. Owls have very sensitive eyes, and perhaps that's how they see the night like Van Gogh.
