Checked this one in my bird book. I think I have him identified correctly. It's with the *istD at ISO 800, f11 @ 1000, fill from the Sigma 500DG Super flash. I could have gone to ISO 400 on this one, but most bird shots are in open shade, so I usually keep the camera at 800 when walking through the woods. This is about a 2X crop, so you'll see some digital noise. As Herb pointed out earlier today, a 400 is a bit short for shooting shy little birds in the wild. But it's still fun. At the highest interpolation level from the Adobe RAW converter I end up with about a 40meg image after crop. That still makes the minimum resolution for my stock house, but I'd like to do better.
Anyway, enough talk. It's here:
