Unfortunately, the flash cannot sync any faster than 1/200 on the Nikon D3300, so using the flash is tricky. I really do need to upgrade my camera body in the next year or two, with other reasons including better high-ISO performance and a faster burst.

I’d recommend only using flash in certain situations, including owls at night or a situation where the contrast is too strong. The lighting in those titmouse shots is very unnatural. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lighting in those titmouse shots is very unnatural. I try to avoid using it unless it's way too dark to shoot otherwise (hence wanting better high-ISO performance), or if I'm shooting into the sun as a fill. I'll bring it when I'm going into dense tree cover, but on a clear day in the open I'll usually leave it in the car. Plus, I feel like overusing it can disturb the birds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoroark Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Ah, here's a good comparison. I took the first cardinal shot with flash at the same time as the titmouse. The second one was in the daytime without flash. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 My lifer Cape May Warbler from Texas. Wish I could've gotten a better photo, but we were doing a big day and I didn't have time to slow down to focus on photography. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/441469911 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IKLland Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Again, I really don’t like to ask for ratings, but on some of my best shots I do. So, please drop a rate on this. Thanks!🙂 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/441713171 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragon49 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 The Yellow-crowned Night-Heron was a nice find, especially since Ebird mobile noted it as "infrequent" to the hotspot. In addition, I got good pictures because the bird was foraging in the middle of the day which is unusual. I did get my lifer of the species at the same location, but the pics were of the bird and its partner sleeping in a tree, as they normally feed at night. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/442136721 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
