    Canon 1D MKIII, 300mm f2.8, flash Mecablitz + Mecablitz extender. I had a problem, all on the vehicle had short telephoto lenses, he was too big for the 300mm I cut bot tail 7 legs off, so I took a photo of the tail and legs and stitched them together, Regrds Loukie

    Loukie,

    I like your idea of stitching two images due to have too long a focal length, but it is still to close at the head and tail. Do you have more room in the orignal?

    Flash as main light handled well here.

    Great find and thanks for the explanation of the workflow. What ISO did you use? I agree that a bit more room would make it even better.

    Nice image, I also vote for more room on top and at the bottom...:D

    Loukie, that's a cool pose you did a neat job on the stitching, but it is still too tightly framed. Next time bring a zoom like the 100-400 or 70-200!

    Yes zoom is the answer, but my wife had the 40D + 100 - 400mm, with on camera flash, I had the 300 mm + better flash, we had been photographing birds the whole day then the 300 was excellent, but no birds at night, so I was literally hanging off the back of the vehicle battling to get a decent image, this was the best I could do, so until I can extend the canvas etc, this will have to do, moral is buy two of each lens if your wife is also a photographer, it may be cheaper to change wives for a non photographer wife.
