Thanks Bill, I read about this technique on the internet and just had to try it even though I didn't have all the recommended gear to get the best results. I think with more light and better exposure I will be able to get greater detail with alot less noise, I think it would help to have 300 to 400 mm focal length as well so the bird would fill more of the frame. Hopefully I can acquire the extra gear I'm wanting before the summer is over.
