What exactly is a Flash Extender? I've heard the term before but have no idea what it means.
While an interesting pose, and a great job getting him in the frame, I don't think this one is quite as good as your previous ones. The forehead looks a like blown and overall lacks a big of punch. Still a nice show though. - Nick

A Flash extender is a thing you attach to the front of your flash (in this case an SB800) that extends the useable distance of the strobe. Especially useful when shooting with a 300mm lens!
I don't think the head is blown, Seagull's are actually PURE white on their heads and thus often look blown because there actually isn't any detail to capture. I think this shot is underexposed by 1-2 shots so the chance of a blow out on the head is pretty slim! No detail doesn't necessarily mean "blown highlight". Liam =]
Its a frenel lens...
It concentrates the light from the flash forward using a series of concentric refractors... basically consider it a TC for your flash New page

Hi
Hi
I am a newbie to bird photography. I am still struggling with the white colour of the silver gull. Need need more experimenting. I was advised to do the following:- 1. meter the water. 2. pre-set white balance using a grey card or something that is mid-tone 3. set -0.7EV 4. take the pictures either early or late in the day to avoid too harsh direct lighting. 5. avoid having shadows on any part of the gull 6. take against a clear blue sky as the background. 7. picture is too tighly cropped. 8. large part of the gull not in sharp focus and unable to see the features. As you can see, i have lots to learn. cheers, Arthur
