Female pheasantISO 200
f3.5
1/250s
speedlight used
focal length of 200mm
NB - i cropped to this as didn't get all the tail and the legs were blurred - also thought about it for the Week3 weekly challenge theme (Dinner)

there's a little too much flash for me..
f/3.5 @ 200mm - does that mean you have some nice, expensive long glass nowadays??

Didn't get too much chance to turn down the flash - only got one chance at it before it legged it
glass = Sigma 70-200 2.8 (which is great)

Yeah it's a good lens; the pics from it are generally as good as from the nikkor 70-200 f/2.8 imho (ruth has one)
I don't think the focus is as quick as it is on the nikkor 70-200 but unless you're action shooting you'd probably never ever know 
i've dialled the flash back by 1.7 stops previously but i've not needed to on the d300, so i'm surprised (unless you weren't shooting ttl fill) it's been so powerful with you

Homer Simpson moment - DOH
still learning on the speedlight and had left it on ttl - which would account for the problem
