Here's a photograph of a Cerulean Warbler I took at Central Winds Park on Saturday. These kinds of situations make me want to use a flash; however, I've seen too many birds flinch and fly away with flash use. I don't want to disturb wildlife, so I don't use a flash.

With this photo, I'm shooting up into a relatively dense canopy, and even though it was mid-afternoon, there just just wasn't much light. I had to shoot at 2500 ISO to get a shutter speed of 1/500sec. There's no way a Canon 7D will take that picture without visible grain, especially after cropping to a pleasant composition. But being in nature is its own reward, and getting this photo was better than nothing, and certainly better than disturbing the bird.
