Thanks Christian. It's at ISO 800. I probably could have gotten away
with 400, but he was in a very dark corner of the pond, and the flash
illumination was virtually the only light I had.

Subject: PESO: Prince of the Pond
I shot this princely fellow yesterday during a walk in Bloomfield
Hills
Nature Center. I used the *istD with the A 400/5.6 with an A2X-S
converter and the Sigma 500 super flash with the Kirk magnifier. I
need
the magnifier with this rig even at fairly close range since the
biggest effective stop I can get is f11. The shutter speed was 1/1000.
Handheld of course. Note that only the princely head is above water.
The rest of the body is seen through the murky pond water.

Nice composition and lighting, Paul. I like the way his back right
leg just
sorts of fades away in the background while his mouth and eyes are
very well
lit. Just out of curiosity, because it seems very noisy, what ISO?
