    Very nice captures Rick thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Too bad he was in the shade (a perfect scenario for using a better beamer mwink.gif ), but I like the action (and da snake) and the bokah is very nice too clap.gif

    You also nailed the focus :D

    Thanks for sharing,

    Sorry Rick ne_nau.gif I should have explained better rolleyes1.gif

    The Better Beamer is a flash attachment, some birders use to help light their subjects at a distance. You can check it out here It's pretty nifty. Sort of an anti-diffuser.....lol It focuses the beam so you get more distance.

    PS: If you enjoy post processing, there's a kewl (and free) PS Action that can add a fill flash. You can find it here under Katrin Eismann's Fill Flash, near the bottom of the page.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
