Did not have more then an hour to spend today so i went back to the Grey Herons at the nature reserve behind my home for some more testing of my new 580 EX II flashgun and Better Beamer. Found out that batteries and cold don't mix so well but here's one of the Herons i got in flight.

Greetings,

Nice one. Good positioning in the frame too.

I like the head-turn, which is an unusual view of a Heron for me. Placement in the frame is good too and the BetterBeamer appears to have worked well, nice work
