I have read in a few different places that the flash from a camera can damage their eyes. I love taking pictures of them but I always try to not use the flash when I do even though the pictures dont come out very well. Just wondering because I know they see better in the dark and al.

If you are really worried you can put a tissue over the flash so it isn't so bright:-)

I don't use flash, I just take them to the brightest room in my house to take pictures because when I use flash they freak out so I don't use it.

I use ambient lighting, by turning a lamp shade so the light shines on the ceiling. You can also use a bright flashlight if you don't have a lamp with a movable shade. It reflects enough light to take good pics but not enough light to hurt their eyes.

Camera flash does to glider's eyes what it does to human eyes. It can be uncomfortable for a few seconds but it leaves no permanent damage.

One of my girls loves the flash .. in fact she loves the whole camera!
So much so it's impossible to get a good picture of her because the second she sees a camera she decides she has to climb all over it and check it out herself!

So it's ok to continue taking flash photos of your gliders? Just checking, I don't do it often, but when I do, I usually take a few at a time.

While the general consensus is that it doesn't harm their eyes, I wouldn't go wild with taking the pictures. I would think that a few pictures here and there wouldn't do any harm, anymore than looking at the sun for a very brief moment from time to time. I would say, however, that because they are nocturnal, their eyes are going to be more susceptible to the excessively bright light of a flash.
If you have a newer point and shoot camera, it is likely that it will have a "Night Time" shooting mode. This should prevent the camera from firing its flash.
If you're using a DSLR camera, check the 4 following settings:
1.) ISO set higher than 400 2.) F-Stop is set as low as it will go 3.) If you're shooting AutoFocus, set the AF to AI-Servo 4.) Adjust the shutter speed accordingly

My girls are obsessed with the camera....the whole thing including the strap....anything to climb on....the minute I turn the camera and they hear the lense come out..they are there...its cute but it makes it difficult for me to take pictures...
