Well, I didn't have much luck yesterday, fought the the sun and had a great deal of ghosting in almost all of my shots, plus I was having some flash problems. I tried to use the IR triggering on the 580 ex II and 2 430 exII's but really inconsistant flash output if they triggered at all---so it was back to the pocket wizards for me early this am.I also tried out a new feeder prop I made and it worked very well. I was actually able to remove the feeder from the prop and replace it with some flowers and the birds seemed to like it (of course the flowers were charged with sugar water). Here are a couple from this AM.


7D, 500 f4l, tripod, remote trigger, 1 camera mounted flash, 2 stand mounted flashes (one on bird and one on background)


ISO 400, f11, 1/125, everything manual
