Re: Post your best bird shots!
@ Joel, Another nice HB shot. The lighting is very clean and well balanced on this one---I like it.
@ All--Thanks for your suggestions and comments on my previous post. I posted a summary and some example shots of my ghosting problems on its own string ( Technical Problems--Advice or Suggestions Appreciated )---just in case there are some non-birders that might be willing to comment. Please feel free to evaluate and offer suggestions.
Thanks,
Bob

This is a young Red Bellied Woodpecker that has been visiting my setup recently.
It was a gloomy day so I used the on camera flash with the better beamer and two remote flashes off to each side about 45 degrees and set them to 1/16 power just for fill light.

I think my next project is creating some more natural looking perches for my backyard birds.

Re: Post your best bird shots!
Canon 40D, 400mm f5.6L (@5.6), 1/200s, iso 100. The sun just started coming out when I took this shot, so I turned my flash off.
