Critter Photography

These are a few critter photo from over spring break. The first is of my dog JJ; I was practicing overpowering the sun with an off-camera flash. The rest are birds a birdfeeder in my back yard. I don't usually do bird photography, but it's pretty easy when they all come and hang out on the bird feeder. For the third shot in this post shot I shoved a speedlight in the vines next to the bird feeder and triggered it remotely to light up the birds when they were on the feeder. Of course, this scared them away pretty quickly, so I didn't get a whole lot of  shots like this. More to come soon. Enjoy!
