Description: English: This shot has little skill involved, but the hardware really worked well. I was photographing fig birds when i saw a koel deep inside the branches. I had a 400mm f2.8 IS (ii) on the 7d, and the new 600ex flash. I cant believe that through all the leaves, the lens and the flash both nailed the subject. The leaves were all over exposed, I did a quick "auto" in photoshop, but the koel which was about one meter in, remained as the topic. Very pleased with the hardware. Date: 19 April 2012, 08:03.
