Robin - The Quoille

Just started taking photos of birds. Taken with Nikon D90 / 105mm Nikkor

f2.8 and SB-600. So I'm limited with range for the moment. I'm also new to

flash photography, so I'm currently feeling my way into this sort of

photography and balancing exposure / aperture / flash.

 

1/100 sec, f5.6, TTL-BL flash (slow-sync) <- From memory, I'll update with

EXIF data later.

Well thats a good start undouptly. Very sharp shot, full of rich detail, nicely blurred background as well! Well done, welcome to Photonet!

Thanks Theodore - I think there was possibly a degree of luck in this shot, I'm using trial and error on balancing shutter/aperture/flash strength/flash mode at present, and I'm finding that I can't predict the outcome too well just yet, I normally over or under expose slightly, but I'm concentrating on getting the sharpness as a start point, then stepping back to balance exposure.

 

This wee-fella was particularly camera friendly, changing poses frequently, pausing for flash, then re-posing, he also didn't mind the flash or me getting too close.

 

Thanks,

 

Just checked your portfolio, some fantastic wildlife photography, great shots, going to spend some time perusing and get inspired.

Lovely image; nice sharp focus on the face and great blurry background softens it adding just the right detail on this cute little guy's face. Very well done. Thank you for sharing. :)

Depth of field right on, love the sharpness and bokeh. Nice image.
