Hi all,
Somewhat of a flash-newbie here. I do mostly landscape and available
light shooting, but I've got a really neat bird nest (complete with three
young and two very caring parents) easily accessable thru a window.
I've been shooting (moderately successfully) with Delta 3200 to get into the
shadows, but would like to do some color work. To do this, I really need to
use flash, but I've got two problems:
- Besides the little "leafy tunnel" I'm shooting through, there's really no
other place for large uninterrupted passage of light- I'm concerned about
heavy shadowing from all the leaves and branches.
- I'm going through glass. The birds are about 2.5 feet on the other side of
a window.
It's almost like I need a real diffuse source of light outside (it's in a
shadowed area all day), but am not sure how to achieve this. I can work a 5P
cable outside, to either a 360 or 550 flash- I'm using a MZ-S for 35mm so I do
have some wireless options as well (but this will be difficult to do w/o the
built in flash reflecting off my window.).
Any thoughts? Is this just impossible? Again, just thought I'd ask the
experts since this might be better answered by a studio person.
There's a semi-live (and somewhat crappy) updating web cam pic here:

If that helps- the nest is in the middle of the screen.
TIA,
Ryan Brooks
