Made another try at my favorite Red Wing Black Bird hunting location early this AM. Light was from a more helpful direction at that hour, plus I was "packing" an AF540 flash with a "VISUAL" flash extender. Using K20 w/DA55~300.
Am attaching three shots wherein I was actually able to bring out some feather detail. With the bright sky behind most all attempts, even in spot metering mode, shutter had been too fast for anything much beyond a silhouette. With the ability to throw some light on my side and at ISO 200, I, also, had a little shutter speed to combat a gusty 20 mph wind. I still consider this a work in progress. Comment at will.
