    Probably one of my favourite images from my trip to Ireland last week.

    When the clouds came around the end of the day in I decided to go a bit further regarding the use of fill-flash. I put on my better beamer to get a spotlight effect on this scene and used a slow shutterspeed to add some dynamics to the shot. Quite different from my previous post but personally I like this much better. Curious what you think...

    Nikon D3
    Nikon AF-S 70-200/2.8G VR @ 100mm
    Nikon SB800, TTL,rear-curtain flash @ -1LW
    1/40 @ f/11
    ISO400, RAW

    I love the mood Jasper.

    This is very creative and the use of composition (with the bird in flight in the sky) and fill flash are very well done. This is a masterpiece! Congratulations!

    This is very cool, I like the dramatic look and the bird at the top. I might remove the bill without bird in the lower left and don't even mind that the wings look clipped.

    Very unique! Love the lighting and the bird in flight. I find it hard to believe that this was created in camera. Well done!

    This came out terrific. I don't know that I've seen one more creative.....that was from the camera with no other manipulations. Well done.
