    This photograph was captured using a multiple flash hummingbird set-up consisting of 5 remote flashes, one on-camera flash, and an artificial background. Flowers were held by a plamp, and I used an eyedropper to place sugar water into the flowers to entice the hummingbird to feed.

    Shutter speed: 1/250 sec
    Aperture: f 22
    Exposure mode: Manual
    ISO: 200
    500mm IS lens

    Your setup worked beautifully, Linda. Excellent DOF, sharpness, BG colour and pose. My only nit is I wasn't standing beside you while you were taking this. :D

    Atelier in the middle forest. Is it wildlife? No...
    Why f/22?
    Picture is nice.

    Another jewel!

    This is very nice Linda. The BG is MUCH better on this one. I would take some off the left and add to the right.

    The BG and the flowers make this look surreal! The headturn, wingposition and flashwork are all perfect, wish it was mine! I wonder what it would look like with a little more of the plant visible in the UR corner, not a nit only wondering.... Big congrats!

    Killer. The leaves in the URC are perfectly positioned. Lots of hard work always pay off. I cannot share Jody's nit.

    later and love to all, artie
