There were several young wrens at North Pine Dam yesterday, frollicking amoungst the dry foliage. This one landed quite close and I managed to get a quick shot before it disappeared again.

I ventured into a narrow tunnel that leads to a gun slit on the side of the fort. The late afternoon sun was coming through the slit and I just had to make use of it.
I positioned Kara to just get some nice sun backlighting and then added a snooted gridded 580exII on a stand camera left and about half the distance from me to her. Power setting might have been around 1/64th from memory.

Of course Allan spotted what I was up to and took the same shot with Jeff's 85/1.2L, which gave a brighter shot, but with a dreamier softness surrounding.
