Don't know about what impossible, but I am not sure how desirable it is. I am not a nature guy but I recall reading that it is considered bad form to pop flashes into the faces of baby birds. Can cause trauma and the like. Might it be possible to rig a reflector (maybe something made of white cloth or aluminum foil (to cast some added light onto the nest? Set it up and leave it for a while before shooting, to give them a chance to get used to it. A thought, take it for what it's worth. :) Bob - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
