    Not bad Jeff, first we got a provocative title, then we have an excellent shot and finally we have a shameless plug for votes. I think you have touched all the bases on this post. rolleyes1.gif

    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!"

    ok it was like this --it sat in dark shade so I set my exposer as close as i could to what i thought take off would be and waited .moved the camera to my left ,it's right when it saw that white lens I pushed the shutter rolleyes1.gif 3 frames 1 with birdwings.gif 2 no bird :cry The shot was stilll dark but I uped the exposer in raw and added a bit more light in PS .Having the iso on the new d300 makes this something you can try but with the 200 I am walking away deal.gif
