Taking bird pictures (1 Viewer)

Hello,

someone showed me this advice for taking picture in case of bad light conditions.
http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/better_beamer.shtml

Usually I did not use additional light for taking pictures of animals, because I do not want to disturb them.

How is it with taking pictures of animals, especially birds, is it better do use use additional light ?
I do not want to have good pictures in every, especially in case of heavy disturbance of the animals.

Thank You.


Best regards
Dieter

Dieter, I usually avoid doing it, but not with a lot of confidence that there is a problem. Consider a bird in tropical rain forest: that bird experiences rain many days in the year, with lightning in maybe 1/3 of those, so flashing light would not be that unusual.
