MPO - I use an LED light source off camera mounted next to a Pentax 540. Seems the birds at my feeders prefer a constant light (faster AF too!) with an occasional flash than a flash out of the dimness. Best sky colors are at dawn and setting sun. Don't ask to see examples. Working on being competent. Hey Dave, is that a wooden or cushioned easy chair you sit in awaiting a Jay to pose for you? :) :)
