A couple of months ago I posted a note about a pair of owls visiting 
the trees around my back yard and expressed the hope to be able to 
photograph them.

Well, last night the pair returned with their two young! And they 
were actually in the back yard - on the feeders, on the fence, on the 
clothes line, and in the labrador's plastic pool. Tonight I was ready 
with my living room window as my blind - tripod mounted R8, 80-200/4 
and 280/4.8 with viso-R adapter, Metz 40MZ2 flash and a sample roll 
of Ektachrome 100. Fortunately the birds cooperated, and the initial 
inspection of the wet film shows that the R8/40MZ2 TTL combination 
can deliver the goods.

Lordy - what an experience.
