This tight image of the edge of the wing of a medium-sized Great Egret chick was created with the handheld 400mm IS DO lens with the 1.4X II TC, 37mm of extension, and the EOS-1D Mark IV. ISO 400: 1/125 sec. at f/18. Manual flash as main light at 1:2.
It is my belief that few photographers are comfortable using flash as main light which can be a very valuable tool when working in extreme low light situations. See my comments on flash as main in the April 21st blog post at www.birdsasart-Blog.com It is entitled, Are You in the Dark about Flash as Main Light?
