And Yet Another Hummer

Still having fun with the hummers. Hope you don't mind another one.

Backyard. 3 flashes on the hummer, 1 on the background.

Canon 5D Mark III, 100-400 @ 400mm
ISO 320
1/125 @ f/14 (flash really determines shutter speed)

Larger Version Included.

Posted a short video on my website of some of the hummingbirds as well if you are interested. Here is the video link (Turn on your speakers for the video)

Mind? Are you serious? :wink:
I've enjoyed your entire body of work with these hummers Keith, and this is another fine image.
Someday I'll buy a few extra flashes and use/try this method. Right now everything's on hold.
Well done & have a great weekend :toast:

Keith,
This is as good as it gets, the background is perfect. I watched the video and enjoyed it. This is the best of your hummingbird post that I have seen so far. You set the bar very high and are an inspiration for 'Want to Be's' like me. Thanks . . .

Excellent shot Kieth, I love the graceful arc formed by the lines of the flower and the hummer. Nicely done.

super comp, and really nice wing position, Keith. I like the way the hummer is mostly against the bright part of the bg.
