Night Creatures

by MJW <me@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Mar 5, 2008 at 09:15 PM

I have just had a go at photography in the dark! We have the fruit bats 
around each night for dinner & I thought I would have a go at taking 
some pics. I have a Canon 350D, a Speedlight 550 EX II, & a 100mm USM 
Macro lens.

I set up the camera on my tripod late in the aft & used manual focus on 
the lens to get the sharpest focus. I then set the camera to "****trait" 
& waited till it was dark & the bats came. When they did land, I moved 
the camera to the spot I thought they were, ( could not really see 
through the eye-piece), & snapped away.

Here are the best 3 pics.

These bats are gonna be around for a while, so I was wondering if anyone 
had some advice on what I can do to get some sharper pics. I have to 
wait till dark & I cant move up on em cause they will fly away!
