This flash photo was taken through a double pane glass window, and it still worked!

The flashes were all outside about a foot from the bird. The noise from the camera was more upsetting to the birds than the flashes. I closed the widow to muffle the camera noise. The birds liked that. I took this photo at about a 45 degree angle to the closed glass window.

Extremely great shot. Love the slight bokeh of the background with the bird being in focus. The download is fabulous as you can see the veins within the wing feathers. Mahalo for sharing.

I don't think I have ever made a photo that sharp. ... and thru glass. Wow!

45 degree angle to window means reflection bounces off at 45 thus reflected light goes off 90 degrees from source. So window reflection no problem.

Can you get them a bit sharper? I can't tell if the mite on the wing feather needs a shave or his face is just dirty.

Nicely done Dave.

That's a great shot. I especially like the way that the bird stands out from the background because of the lighting.
