D200 + 80-400 VR + 1.4x TC @ 560mm, ISO 800, 1/640, f8, fill flash (SB910 + Diffuser)

Both of these were taken under fast moving clouds that brought tornados to other parts of the New York Metro area. Photography wise, the clouds produced nice soft light that I wanted to work with as it’s great for portraits. I used a flash diffuser to soften the fill light to match the natural lighting. This meant getting close to my subjects which is easy for me to do. I also checked my background as I did not want distractions.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

I like #1 best of the two. The GB being more monochromatic, and consistent over the whole frame, is interesting.

Nicely done Morris, you toned down the flash expertly. I like the bg in the second better

Thank you Eric,

Do you mean I need to show people how to run around naked in the marsh?

There are so many different ways to flash there would be plenty to cover. Possibly I should run a seminar; it is the thing most starting nature photographers done use.

Both work, Morris.
I prefer the first because of the uniqueness- AND the near monochromatic aspect works well.

Two fine pics Morris and although they are very different because of the bg I like them both.
