Up close. Next time I will use a reflector to get some "catchlight" in his eyes.

have you use your flash/magifing glass thing with your sb800 to get some catchlights?

Hi Redline,

Not yet. The Flash extender is designed for birds that are under the shades and are far away. I can use SB 800 by itself to get the catchlight but that may stress the birds at close distance.

Wow! How did you alter the background colour and maintain the fluffyness of the feathers?

Hi

background colour was not altered. I applied very light sharpening to minimize the noise. picture was slightly cropped and downsized to allowing viewing on screen. I could not downsize more as the details of the feathers would be lost.

Arthur
