Hermits are one my favorite groups of hummingbirds to photograph. I captured this image at Los Bancos Restaurant (near Tandayapa, in Ecuador) using a 5 flash hummingbird setup, plus a flash on camera, an artificial background and a sugar water feeder. Manual flash settings. Full frame.
I wanted to capture the beautiful details of the plumage, so I have left this as a horizontal. I have other images of this bird in vertical, but due to the wing spread, the bird is smaller in the frame.
