I missed this shot previously. It is a very dramatic shot. Lovely. I agree with Godfrey that much more shadow detail can be extracted. It can all be done in PhotoShop as well. Much of the detail can be recoved with highlights/shadows alone. Some subsequent curve adjustments can restore balance.

Yes, I can generally shoot at 1/500th. This was a bit of an accident, but the flash saved it. I'd love to have a 400/2.8, but there's no way I can afford it. Paul On Mar 9, 2007, at 11:58 PM, Joseph Tainter wrote: > Scored another nuthatch. This guy was in deep, dark doodoo and was > shot at 1/
