Yes, I'm a big fan of the flash extender. I use it for all bird and
wildlife shoots. At the distances one encounters in those kind of
shoots, you rarely get much more than a bit of fill, but that fill is
very helpful.

Thanks much, Paul! Also, thanks for your putting me on to the flash
extender a few years back. (think it was you?).
Third set is my choice also.

I like the third version best. Good
detail for black feathers. That's always tough.

Thanks, Brian! I agree, to this point the
"composition" has been limited to a heavy crop and keeping
some high voltage stanchions and power lines out of the
background.
I have been OK, however, with the wild clover and
thistles.

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.

Yes - definitely better detail in the
feathers. I
don't think the birds
have given you the best composition yet but it
looks like
you might get
more opportunities.
