Not without illuminating at least part of the tree. I mean, the Better Beamer narrows down the field illuminated by the flash a lot, but it can't be *that* specific! If you look carefully at the bird's back you'll notice a dark "anti-halo" inside the outline of the body. This appears to me to be the edge of the selection he made before brightening the bird in Photoshop. With today's super-low-noise sensors you could find enough information in the shadows to pull out the level of detail seen in this shot. The noisiness/blotchiness of the bird's body is what lead me to the conclusion that's how it was done. >On 7/27/2016 5:07 PM, Paul Stenquist wrote: >> Great pics.
