Swallowing mosquitoes while photographing owls handheld with a DSLR: "I knew I wouldn't have a chance as good as this any time soon"

A close-up of a barred owl perched on a branch, surrounded by lush green foliage, showcasing its brown and white plumage.

Photographer Caleb Holdsworth has won many awards for capturing stunning wildlife. To create his work, he exclusively uses Nikon cameras – and perhaps surprisingly to some, he works with a DSLR setup instead of the mirrorless gear many expect today.

Caleb's camera of choice is the Nikon D7200, a DSLR launched back in 2015 that remains a favorite among wildlife shooters. This striking close-up, titled Eyes of the Forest, showcases Caleb's ability to build a visual connection between the subject and the viewer.
