2008 at Bull River BC. Canon EOS 1D MKIII, jpg
Details as requested: Canon EF 100-400 L series zoom + 12mm Canon ext tube, four flashes set at 1/32 power and 3 on the subject at about 2.5' and one to light the backdrop. Several feeders were set up around the camera equipment and one behind the flower. Normally I spike the flowers with sugar water, but this time I relied upon the feeder as there were just too many birds shuffling for a place to feed. The weather was cold and rainy which kept the hummers coming to the feeders rather than seeking natural food. ISO 100 and 1/250 X sync, camera on manual. Exposure ranged from f/14 to f/22 depending on which hummingbird arrived. Hope this helps.
