I was wanting to shoot some photos and it was raining--then I thought let me show you how to do this in the rain.
 |
| We enjoy our bird feeder and the birds that visit us. |
 |
| By using a flash I can somewhat capture the bird in flight. Actually I startled the bird with the flashes. |
 |
| Here is the simple setup. I did this while it was raining and so I covered the flashes with zip lock bags to keep them dry. |
 |
| Since it was raining it was darker than normal and the flashes helped light up the birds but the background disappears. |
 |
| I decided to put one flash pointing to the background (see setup below) to help keep the background from disappearing. However the birds had stopped for a while visiting when I was doing this. |
 |
| The Nikon SB900 flash to the far right is set on 200mm zoom. This helps put the light on the distant trees. The light to the right is lighting the bird feeder and any birds. |

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
