Thanks, does Kelly ever "shut up?" Cammy seldom does. But he's a real character, a real lover-bird. My wife named him Cammy, she said it's short for camouflage. So it has kind of stuck. :thumbup:
Not very often, LOL! He rules the house, if you don't believe me, ask him! He used to have a vocabulary of about 100 words but as he gets older he does more squawking than talking, unless I have company then he has to take part in the conversation. They get to hear what a good bird he is, what are they doing and don't squawk in his ear ROFL! And if I'm eating, he wants a bite and is very persistent until he gets a bite (I keep crackers on hand for those time when he doesn't need what I'm eating). If he's on my shoulder, I have to be careful if I'm drinking something because he will grab the glass and pull on it - he loves iced tea! (It's decaf). I've had him since he was just being weaned, he'll be 18 in January.

I sell pet supplies at bird shows. I am going to try my hand at pet photography. I have mostly novice equipment, I'm about to purchase a speedlight (I have studio lights and a Sunpak 3000 flash I use to trigger the studio lights).
I'm looking at used SB800 speedlights (D3200 camera). Any thoughts, suggestions?
I am including one of my shots. Using the Sunpak (bounce)

What lens do you currently use? A nice fast lens might be more useful in freezing the action.

Thanks. I believe my lenses are fast enough. Nikon 50 mm f1.8, Sigma 105 mm f2.8, Nikon 18-55 mm f3.5 -5.6 DX (rarely used). If motion is an issue I open aperture and / or up the ISO.
