This immature Ruby Throated Hummingbird is just taking flight from the top of a broken branch. This was a 4 light setup and really stopped the wing motion. All of the lights were Canon EX series with one low in front aiming up at the bird from underneith, one each on the left and right and one high aiming down from the top. When I get one more light I will add background highlights. I spent most of the summer following these birds around my back yard.
