Apparently fill flash is commonly used to photograph birds especially in early evening light. I spoke with about 8 photographers ALL of whom had flashes attached and firing away.
That's a super nature shot, Conrad. A hawk taking off with a hare in its talons ?
Shot with the 24-105L to boot. Incredible.
Where was that taken and how did you manage to get that close to the action ?

I was walking towards a ravine in central Oregon to shoot a landscape shot over some brush when I heard a struggle and the flap-flap of something very close. He never ever saw me behind the bush I popped out of. I looked to my right and instinctively aimed my camera and just started firing! (3fps on my old 5D hahah!!!) but as you can see, I got lucky! It was NOT in AI Servo mode so this was the ONLY in-focus shot I got. This was before I ever knew how to use my camera equipment. Just the right time, the right place.
Hehe... I lost the original file. This was also before I learned how to process photos properly. At this time I had my actions preset to landscape stuff only. *sigh.. lost the original, lost the subsequent shots...

If the image you posted is what you are getting from your broken CMOS, I want to get a 1DMkIIN and break it just for that shot!
That in reality is an outdoor mural by a river where on occasion I do photography of ducks and such. This is the entire scene from which the above crop was taken.
