Allen's hummer using flash

[monte stinnett]

I've been playing around with flash setting and this is what I come up with so far. nikon D3 200-400. 1/1000 sec @F8. iso - 400. camera iso -3 and flash ev + 2/2/3. Hi speed sync. I also was wondering when hummer flash book will be available.

Nice capture Monte,
I like this blured effect of the wings. the background also makes your hummer pop out...:cool:

Great pose and details, I would love to see the BG a bit brighter.

Very nice posse, it takes a few more flashes to freeze the wings. Linda said it will be ready soon!

This is a work of art. The movement adds a lot to this image.

Thx Max, thats kind of the effect I was after, the wing blur and the black bg. Results are kind of inconsistent thought. Guess it depends on ambient light, background, and speed of the hummers wings.

Good capture, if you want to freeze the wings more try playing with you flashes power levels...1/16-1/32. Unfortunately it means getting closer too.
