Met with Karl Witt, Larry Williams, John, Troy and other FMers today at Magee Marsh. Had a whale of a time.

I get content easily and once I saw this guy it was a day well spent for me with friends.

Congrats on finding this beautiful little guy Shreeni, he gave you a wonderful pose. Well done.

Thanks all. Thanks to Morris for the tip to use flash for fill. I bought Spencer's Wildlife MagMod kit and it fits beautifully on my Metz AF-1.

One thing I experienced. being the first using flash, the shutter release would not work till the flash recycled. Is this how it behaves ? Also the continuous frame rate dropped by a huge margin when the flash was on, but returned back to it staccato self once the flash was turned off.

Is there a CF to override this behavior ?

Lovely shot Shreeni . Looks like you had a good time and good company

Not sure about your flash issues and the Metz flash. I am assuming your are using a Nikon camera?
Do you have the camera set for high speed sync flash?

I see the Metz has high speed on first and second curtain modes. I set my camera to rear curtain . Check to see what flash mode your camera is set.

Very nice Sireti. If I recall there is a setting on Metz flashes that will hold back till the flash is able to do full power. Turn that off and you will get a flash with a little less power yet you get the images you want to take.

Birdied - I did set my D500 to rear (the thing which displays "rear" in the top window ? the - button + front wheel)

I checked the Metx 50 AF-1 manual a couple times end-to-end but can't find it. Maybe I am not looking at the right description The two button setup on Metz definitely does not have this option

Yep , that's it. On the camera, check your setting on e1 to make sure it is set to the fastest shutter speed listed.

Also, make sure the flash is set to i-TTL mode.

Hi Shreeni Sorry about the company you kept

It was not easy shooting, the foliage has come out pretty strongly ahead of the birds this year.

I'm glad to have met up with you buddy! I know you are holding back on some more lovely shots of the Prothonotary singing That bird sure draws a lot of attention, I'm glad you got to get up close for your shots

Hope to get together again sometime, maybe next time to visit Larry for his cookout.
Nice little birdy you have here, now we need to do some NR on BG.

Shreeni ... I admit I (as well as everybody else) got excited when this little guy showed up. It was great to meet you and Larry Williams,and Troy and the rest of the group. I always enjoy hanging out with Karl W. seems like i always learn something .
It was a fun day , good weather, new and old friends some decent birds to shoot. Hopefully we'll meet up again soon.
