Will try it...

you need to pop some fill flash on the bird, set up a cheap nu560 flash on optical trigger 10 ft from the camera set at 1/4 which will freeze the bird at 1/2000 aprox sec, expose for the surrounds with A dont worry about shutter speed.

This is how I would have done it in the film days.  I basically have the type of equipment you mention so I will try it that way too.

Thanks.

cheers don
