Rather than extend or divert discussion on the main bird thread...... Do you ever use flash when photographing birds? Even just a bit of fill in? I was in a hide today with 2, rather loud Canon users with flash. Another guy came in and nearly started a fight telling them it wasn't necessary. After swearing at them he left...which enabled me to use his seat ![]() I watched as the bird flinched at their flash despite them not seeing it and thus affirming their belief they were right. I've perhaps been dismissive of using flash believing with a 500mm lens all its likely to contribute is a highlight in the eye at the sort of subject distances we tend to work at. Not sure if I am right? But I have to say in the situation today with a lot of backlighting, there were some instances where a bit of fill would have helped lift the bird. Here's an example. ![]() So what the thinking from you wildlife officienados?
