SUMMARY
Wildlife photographer Faber Mosquera Álvarez has won a category in the Audubon Photography Awards for his image of an Oilbird inside a cave. Capturing the nocturnal bird in low light required high ISO and a fast shutter speed on his Nikon D500. Álvarez faced difficulties, including a fall on river rocks during his return trip, but found the pain subsided upon seeing the award-winning photograph. The image was recognized for its technical complexity in freezing the bird's flight and detailing its plumage under challenging conditions.
