Canon 800mm @ 1/15 sec Spoonbill - Florida

Here is a perfect example of when to use some fill flash. This image was created around 30 mins before sunrise on Saturday. A challenging image at 800mm and only at 1/15 sec shutter speed.

I have to thank my model for the cooperation! :D

Canon 1D MKIV, Canon 800mm L @ f/8, 1/15sec, ISO 640, 600EX-RT flash with Better Beamer and all in Manual mode.

Thanks!

Even the flash was in manual? How did you determine power - trial and error?

Flash compensation was changed to -2 and zoom to 70mm. Trial and error is correct but you have to do it quickly before your subject flies away. Sometimes I move the bracket as well but every situation is different.

Great shot. 1/15 is amazing at 800mm.

Nice. Do you have a vertical with the whole reflection?

I know it looks like there was a full reflection but there wasn't. So I didn't bother.

Pity - the water looks perfect! Nice shot in any case.
