Hi Gaurav, Thanks for the comment. I wasn't very close. Probably about forty feet from the Cardinal and about thirty feet from the ducks. I used an A400/5.6 lens with an A2XS teleconverter. I had the camera on a monopod and used the Sigma Super flash on high speed synch setting with the Kirby Flash Xtender magnifying the output. Paul
