That looks like the front of it on the floor in the setup photo. Nice result, what lens was it taken with? Also how big's that brolly? It looks absolutely massive but I'm not sure if that's just the distortion playing tricks on me. I'm pretty sure that's the distortion. I'm betting 4'.

This little guy comes every morning and steals the food straight out of the dog's bowl. Half the time he doesn't even wait for the dog to move! With my longest lens being my 24-70 on a full frame clearly I wasn't going to able to just sit quietly and grab a shot when I could, so I had to setup the tripod, flash and remote radio trigger...and wait...and wait...and wait. It's amazing just how cautious they are. He hopped around just out of camera range for AGES, just checking out the surroundings. After the sound of the mirror slapping and then the flash firing I'm pretty sure he won't be back for a while! The result: http://dl.dropbox.com …Share/IMG_1971%20copy.jpg Kirk

How did you setup your metering, focus, etc. before he arrived, just using the dog food piled there? GREAT shot! BK Thanks. I had to use an aperture of f16. Since I was so close to the subject the DOF was seriously thin, even at that small aperture. I now see what the macro guys have to deal with! I pretty much just metered and focused on the food (live view helps a lot). A softbox would've been great but I don't have one yet. Kirk

BK Im assuming pre set manual focus, then set the exposure for the background/garden, then the ETTL function of the flash would have determined the flash power to correctly expose the bird.

(I havent quite got the handle on my flash yet though so I could be wrong) I tried eTTL for a few test shots but got a few slight differences in between so switched to manual, I think it was on about 1/2 power (bit overcast here today).
