Testing times

A complete switch over from one manufactuer to another takes some getting used to, I had never used a Nikon before so everything was alien, I bought a SB900 flash and Better beamer neither which i had used before so went to a local park where they have some feeders up to test the kit out,The area is dark so i only managed 1/60@ ISO 400-Maybe should have upped it to 800 but still it all seemed to work ok and i am impressed-I have feeders in my garden now and Cardinals are starting to use it along with a nice perch-better images to come soon i hope

Nikon D3 600F4VR+1.4x SB900+Better beamer set at-2/13

Great shot Dave, not much else to say really!

One of the prettiest birds in the US - good luck with them and this is a great start.

Great portrait, Dave. I like it very much

Great shot, the flash gives a really nice 'sparkle' to the bird. What a beautiful little bird too!!

Looks like you're getting used to it pretty quickly!!

Nice image of a beautiful bird Dave.

Hi dave

Beautiful bird well captured.

So glad you cloned that horrible branch perch out and put something much more contemporary in

Very nice David lovely little birds I've seen these in Florida never managed a image yet. I fancy a SB900 but there are monster.

Regards

Looks good to me....
