Cool,

Gadget infinity has a remote system, you can use the flash off camera and the remote will trigger it.

I will be placing an order for one, I just bought a Nikon SB 80DX Flash, it will be my slave/fill/kicker and my SB800 will be my main. There's my portable light kit, nice n light.

Have you ordered from them before? I hate having to order from Hong Kong. Tongue

Yeppers, got a studio wireless remote, the 16 channel one.
Do the by air mail, I forgot to punch that in, so, it took about 15 days to arrive. Works great, forget the pocket wizard, I don't have the money, this works just fine

Cool! Maybe now I'll order that wireless shutter release I've been wanting. They are the ONLY place that makes one for the Minolta. Tongue

Can't wait to position my camera outside and sit inside and take pictures of the birds, bwahahahah!

That's smart, I wish I had a wireless remote for my D200, o well.

It was my past time, so, if you don't know, here's some tips.

I don't know if you can, so,
Place a feeder to one side, tie a branch near so that the feeder is out of the scene. The bird lands on the branch, voila, your "natural" wildlife shot instead of a bird at the feeder shot.
Logs and other things can work also.

Here's a couple of samples of what I used to do; yes, I am a Birder, just haven't done it for a while, I've found a new specie of birds.  Grin
The first one, a point and shoot, Fuji S5000
The second one Canon 20D 70-200 f/2.8
Wild look, feeder to the left, branch tied at right on pole.

I have one. She's a big mush. Part bassett hound, part black lab. She looks like a lab that's been cut off at the knees. Tongue She'd probably make friends with the bear and show him where to find more food...

Hmm, what do you get when you cross a Black Lab with a Basset Hound? Black Bass   Grin

Cool, he must be rock solid.

Thanks Susie

We actually call her a bassador. Grin I like Black Bass, too, though, ha ha.

She's a tank, but is incredibly agile. We'll come home from work and find her, in all her 70lb glory, walking along the back edge of the couch.

Here's a picture of her watching the birds outside:
