Here's an image from this past spring that I hope you all will enjoy. I really hope to get some more images of this species on a better, more interesting perch this year. I'm also posting this one because one of my goals for 2008 is to improve the way I use flash in my photography.
Camera Model: Canon EOS 30D
Shutter speed: 1/250 sec
Aperture: 5.6
Flash: Manual mode (I believe at 1/2 power?)
ISO: 400
Focal length: 500mm f/4 IS
Perfect is always good... With envy and love, artie
ps: The perch looks both fine and interesting to me.
