What are you on about? These birds hover.
~From the lost dynamic range of that less than technically excellent
happy snap, it looks like he set the camera up on a tripod with a remote
shutter release, highlight preservation on and attracted the poor bird
with a honey pot then fired enough flash power at it to damage the poor
things eyes for the rest of it's life. And what about the bird's
colours? Where are they?
Almost as bad as using freeze spray on insects or flash on a newborn
baby. Learn some ecologically safe techniques will you? Get a decent
camera so you don't need the light up the neighborhood to get the shot.
Without over use of flash and plasticizing the image in Photoshop, it
could have been a nice picture. Not even a happy snap for the
collection. Steal some of mine if you *must* have good photos. You
already have most of them, or so you claim.
