A handy video guide to using an off camera flash with a D300 and an SB-800 flashgun.
And a 12:37 minute video of taking pictures of birds.
Even though I’m not around zoos or aviaries much, the video was worth watching. The one trick I learned was how to take a picture through a cage/aviary without having the bars/cage in the shot.
Both videos come out of the UK from PhotoAnswers.co.uk. A web site I’ll add to my bookmarks.
If you’re interested, I’ve posted my technical books I’d recommend on a special software development bookshelf page of my web site. I own an edition of every book I listed (there were a few books that had newer editions than what I had originally purchased). I have not listed books I have bought and wouldn’t recommend or ever use again.
Has software you use ever treated you like this?
All you want … is something that works … "please fix!"

Remember this syntax from the early days of Avalon/WPF/XAML?
<Rectangle Width="300" Height="200"
Fill="HorizontalGradient Blue White" >
</Rectangle>
Very simple — easy to create Gradient Brush. But, it was removed from
Avalon/WPF in part due to it’s challenge for tools (parsing,
etc.).
Mike posts a simple MarkupExtension that although it doesn’t mimic the old syntax identically, the spirit is there.
<Rectangle Width="300" Height="200"
Fill="{local:RadialGradientBrush red, blue}" />
