Hi Carl,

Thanks man. Yeah I got this just before our trip during a nice snowstorm. I also got a shot of you snowboarding in your red jacket lol. I’ll post it later.

Hey Ron,

I didn’t know you had a Pine Grosbeak image here – I was hoping that at last I’d found a subject you didn’t have (other than myself snowboarding). I should’ve known better.

Love the photo.

Cheers

Carl

It’s been a while since I’ve checked in. Just wanted to express how much your work delights me. Your attention to details in color, composition and light are beyond outstanding. Reminds me that I’ve really got to stop by this site more often!

Here’s to a happy and prosperous new year.

Great balance of the lighting here Ron, and thanks for the lesson – I need to break out my flash more often!

Hi Laurent,

Thanks! I do have a flash extender, it is a handy tool. I didn’t use it here since I was able to get so close to the birds.

I could see how it would be much help with LF!

Hey Ron, nice image. Do you have a flash extender? Those can be pretty handy too. And you don’t have to use as much flash power since it gets thrown out further. I still have mine from pre-LF days.

Thanks Ray, I appreciate it! Now the pressure is on.

Thanks a lot Dennis!

I has some of the setting decided before I began shooting – I knew I would need a fast ISO, and that I would want to be shooting wide open.

For the actual exposure, I began with the flash set for 0 compensation, and the actual ambient light exposure at plus one stop. Those settings should have been good in this situation, and they produced an image I could have worked with, but I felt both the bird, and the background were both darker then I wanted – so I added a stop to each.

Thanks,

Ron

Very nice Image Ron, Did you figure out those settings before you you shot or did you have to make several shots?
