Nice portrait shot.

"Split metering" - what is that? I do not have that on my Canons.

Why and how is it useful?

Thanks.

Ahhhh, was scratching my head over that wondering if there was a hole in my limited knowledge.

Thanks james, just putting some different things out there, to see what i can come up with. They will land on just about anything. Try to place it between where they are comming from ,and the feeder, and they will usually land on it .
