Re: Photo setup

Ah yes, welcome to the world of bird photography, not the easiest!

Have you cranked up the ISO to 800? Try it, it's not bad at all. I have the 20D, but use the 100-400 IS lens. What settings are you using? How far are you from your subject?

I do find though that 20D pics always seem a little "soft". Your bullfinch pic is very good, but could do with a little sharpening, IMO. I have to sharpen all my pics to at least some degree, unless I am very very lucky and there is fantastic light (doesn't happen very often on this island!).

Can't help you with flashes I'm afraid, I don't use them.

Regards
