Jan 03, 2009 16:01 | #1 Last year I went down to visit Mitch (it's a 3 hr drive from the Twin Cities) and Red didn't show. This year, I brought along some hired help and had better luck.     I was planning this the whole way down, can't believe it worked!   But in the end, it's all about the peanuts!!  -Liz

Also - loved the pic of Sasquatch on your feeder cam site.  James M wrote in post #6996738 Amazing setup! How much further does the flash go with the extender on? Nice captures as well. I'm not sure how far in feet it throws the flash, but a little goes a long way. I had the flash set at -1 1/3 and it still gave off enough to put a highlight in the eye. It's a 430EX flash, BTW. Ideally I'd have the flash sitting up on a bracket rather than on top of the camera, to get it up higher. But I was too lazy to bring it along. Fill flash isn't something I use all that often (due to the aforementioned laziness) but on a gray day like today, it made all the difference. I was really glad I threw it in the bag. -Liz

At one point he landed 2 feet from you when you were standing beside the tray. I wish I had gotten a shot of that. I was afraid to look at that point because I was hoping he'd come down to the tray while I was standing there. Anyway, it was fun! Just amazing how tame he is! -Liz
