f/8 and Be There
Fred Lynch
Fred Lynch retired in 2018 after capturing images for the Southeast Missourian since 1975, in that time moving from black-and-white to color, from film to digital and to video. The blog title is a nod to an earlier era of news photography and the 4x5 Speed Graphic: It's more important to be there for the shot than to worry about technical details.

A Bird in the Hand

Posted Monday, December 31, 2012, at 12:00 AM

Jan. 8, 1954 Southeast Missourian

This huge barn owl held by Kelley Gaines is not completely satisfied with his captivity, and Kelley has to use strong leather gloves to protect himself from the bird's talons. A friend of Gaines downed the owl while hunting, slightly damaging a wing. Gaines is nursing the bird back to health and will give him his freedom. His first meal in captivity was a rabbit leg--and he ate bones and all. (G.D. Fronabarger photo)
