I was perusing through my hummingbird images and found this one that I had not processed. Pretty cool pose from a Green Crowned Brilliant.

Costa Rica
Canon 50D
70-200 f/4
ISO 320

My typical multi flash setup.

Larger Version included.

Single flash on camera?

JIm: No, this is 3 flashes off camera on the hummingbird, and one on the background to create a natural daylight look.

Gorgeous capture of this guy, Keith. Obviously your understanding of the subject and the technical lighting application paid off very nicely. I'm sure it will make an excellent print too.

I think the bird's pose and that wide array of red flowers really make this unique. Nice job, Keith.

The hummingbird and its flight position are awesome, but what really attracts me to this photo is that wonderful flower. The background is perfect too.

Sweet One Keith
