I took this photo of a meadowlark tonight, at dusk, with the D100/80-400mm VR combo, handheld at 400mm. I used my new SB-800 speedlight, and it really punches the light out there a good distance. My old SB50DX wouldn't begin to reach out for this bird. I thought the effect was pretty neat.
Happy Holidays,
Tyler

Wow Tyler!! That's a great shot. I played with the small
jpeg a little bit to increase the dynamic range... so the
original should process out great. With all your super
images you should publish a book. I know I'd buy it.

Keep snapping,

Ernie

With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.
