Another Flying Edward

06/11/09

In photography, one of the most important things to do composition-wise is to try different angles. :)

This is one of my favorite photographs that I have taken. I had one SB600 just outside my window with a diffuser. The high ISO, which accounts for the lovely graininess on the photo, allowed me to use a high speed with a deep depth of field. This deep depth of field is important in bird photography. You are more likely to get a flying bird in focus. Especially if they are flying straight towards you (and away from you) like mine do.

I used a 50mm 1.8 lens with my Nikon D80. This is tack sharp, very fast, and very affordable at $150.
