Senna,your statement did not "hurt" my feelings, its just not necessary to get emotional. obviously when there's exclamation marks, that's what i think.

i'm a big boy and although relatively new to this, i do realize the potential risks, and deemed them low for the time and place of the shoot.

i've heard the debate on other websites, and therefore its not something i did without thought.

we have a guy on our website who is a professional wildlife photographer, who is actually in South America right now doing his exotic bird thing. i plan to pick his brain about it when he gets back. he teaches bird photography techniques, including multiple flash set ups, etc. i'm quite interested in his thoughts about it.

here's a thread he posted to prove he has no problems with using lighting with an owl:

the Wild Life Officers,meh, you know are going to tell you something that is strictly by the book, so i'm going to have to take that with a grain of salt.

i guess, if anything, i'm surprised you would think i would harm a bird.
