    If there are is anyone still following the saga of how I developed my system for using flash to photograph small garden birds, this post should at last give the secret away. Warning. It gets a bit complicated. I had struggled with using the flash on reduced power, as in spite of it working on...

I stood there watching for may be 10-15 minutes. Suddenly, the heron became alert, dunked its bill in the water and came up with a...
