Very pretty bird, good details and eye contact. Maybe a tad less contrast and a bit more room top and bottom. Thanks for sharing!
I see u list manual flash x 4. You mean 4 flashes in one frame. I know nikon does things a bit different and uses different terminology.
But on my flash in 'repeating mode,' I have 3 settings. Power, frequency(flashes per sec) and number of repeating flashes per frame. Do u have any other hummers besides what u have on bpn I can look at. I've been playing with flash a bit but mostly in high speed sync, allowing me to use higher shutter speeds with multiple flashes.
Hi Wally,
i tend to like them tight..........so no problem there from me.............looks good all around!
Beautiful capture and wonderful detail and eye contact. I would be interested to know what the BG is in this image. Fine work !
Four flashes fire from the old style PC Sync cord. all flashes are set at 1/64 power..... three in front one in the back on the background. Your can do the same with the Canon 580 flashes and the ST-E2 remote, or use the Nikon flashes using the on board camera flash as the trigger. Nikon I understand is a bit more user friendly as everything can be controlled from the camera. Canon on the otherhand you have to set each flash manually at 1/64 or whatever power setting you want. All flashes fire once per frame (hopefully)Quote:

Great setup Wally !!! btw you can incorporate Nikon flashes to your system all wireless !!!
Just the extra room and remember you can post at 800 if you wish !!! Excellent image !!!
Background is a large painted backdrop which avoids the standard black background one gets when using a multiple flash set up like the one I was using. Flashes are about 18-24"away from the hummingbirds, the backdrop is about 4'away. Without the artificial backdrop, most of the background would be greatly underexposed as the flashes are set at 1/64 power and do not emit much light...just a very fast strobe.Quote:

Wally, Linda uses the Canon system and Nikon flashes because of the remote capabilities.
Excellent image, only a bit more room top and bottom.
Looking forward to more!
Hi Wally. This is the first time I have seen an image of this type of hummer. Great image! I did a shadow adjustment which seemed to bring out a lot of detail in the head and tail. I also removed the noise and the sensor spots from the bg. :)
Great capture,
I like it, great details and nice colors; agree about more space on top and at the bottom...:cool:
Thanks Shawn for the excellent re-post.
