Photographs taken with a single on-camera flash look dull, boring, and flat. Ever wondered why this is? Our eyes are designed for 3D viewing and to see any depth in a 2D photo we must use other means to impart depth and dimension. We use shadow to create an illusion of depth. With a lack of shadow and contrasts a photo has a lack of any illusion. How can we create this illusion? By adding a second off camera flash and varying the light ratios. In a dual flash scenario the key produces the shadows and the fill controls how dark or light they are.

There are simple and sometimes easy ways to take pictures of birds in your yard. One can take pictures through a window of the house. You can set up a bird feeding station near the window. For instance, I have a log about 2 feet from my window. The log is set one end up and on that I put some peanut butter on it and some seeds and nuts.

The digital camera has many advantages, but the major disadvantage is the chewing up of battery power. There is no problem with battery power when you return to your hotel room and a battery charger renews the needed battery power of 4 AA batteries in 1 hour. With 12 batteries with you at all times, you will never have to worry about not having enough battery power for the day. So, how do you survive a week in the outdoors without electricity to recharge your batteries? Do you take your SLR film camera instead so you don't have to worry about the loss of batteries?
