Multi-flash attempt

[Joel Eade]

I decided to try my multi-flash hummingbird setup on my backyard songbirds (that's "out of the box" isn't it?) ... this was my best from this morning. It is much harder than with hummingbirds because these little rockets don't hover near a feeder. I used 3 flashes ... 1 on camera and 2 remote all set to 1/32 output.

Very pretty! I love how the grey and reddish backgound matches the grey and reddish colors on the bird! The blur is just right with the bird still quite sharp. Can you do a set-up like this on 2nd curtain sync to get the blur behind the bird? I've only tried 2nd cs with one flash.

Very out of the box and very cool!

I love the one wing and all the details. It looks like something is going on in the BG behind the bill? I do wish the far wing showed as much detail as the front wing but this really came out well. I look forward to more. The Bg colors are lovely. Hoovering really helps doesn't it??:)

Joel, this came out really well. I love the bg colors matching the titmouse. Very cool:)
