you don't succeed, try, try again. I would apologize for my kaka of yesterday but I won't. I am trying new things. Here is another series of birds. All were taken yesterday except the very last.

Gotta love your spirit Ted!!

I do like these a lot better, a bit more conventional

3 is a stand out, interesting shot, like the dark bg and the bird in the spotlight. Chickadee number 2 is my fave of them and the titmouse is another that is very well done. Nice series.

Thanks Tim. I appreciate your comments. I have been experimenting with a flash. I was blinded by the light. My second series is a little better.

Hi Ted, I was browsing the shots trying to pick up on what I thought your were experimenting with, first I thought f/11

then I realized flash balance perhaps. Well sir, they got so good on the 'Nutz' that I had to check the exif to make sure you did flash. They look very natural IMO with the flash fill in the latter ones.

Also seems your 300 2.8 is performing well with the TC on!

By the way, you certainly don't need to apologize ever for shots of yours we look at buddy

I was always told an apology was an admission of guilt, better to say that you regret the inconvienence that you caused us

And by the way I still had no problem being an Ohio guy and sharing your weather in relating to your Cardinal colors on a wet day in low light with flash!

And +1 on Tims line............Gotta love your spirit Ted!

Nice work Ted and good to see you haven't abandond us here at N & W.

I like the titmouse and the first nut best. I do use fill flash as well with my 300 too, on overcast days or under canopy shaded perches. I can tell you used fill flash, which is great for detail, but I prefer to reduce the exposure a tad to look more natural so as the use of the flash is questionable in the image. Just my 2 cents.

The little birds can be fun and challenging. The nuthatch most of the time is easy to capture. Thanks so much for the reply Brenton.

Karl I appreciate your indepth reply. Thanks ever so much. I will use the fill flash more in the future now I feel a little more comfortable with it. Certainly I am not afraid of trying something different.
