I bought 2 einsteins about 2 weeks ago and wanted to use them to capture humminbirds. I used 2 einsteins with 11 inch long trhow reflectors and one wescott reflectors 6 in 1.

I use my 200 f2 lense with a 1.4 tc

You got some beautiful results, Eric. Beautiful tonality with rich colors and sharp detail. The subject is popping even w/o a great isolation

Thank you, I was really happy with results my best picture of hummingbird so far, from my beginners career!!

I also got some nice sunburns, waiting for this little guy to show up and try to capture him.

HOLY FREAK'N PHOTOS, CAMERA GUY !

Those are simply gorgeous.

Questions follow:

1. Camera settings?
2. Flash settings?
3. Any idea what duration the flashes were firing at?

Simply wonderful images.......they stopped me in my tracks.

thanks.

Great stuff Eric. I agree with what socrate said. You might try hanging a towel or piece of felt behind the flowers to hide the horizontal lines. Black would be dramatic, and the right shade of green might look more natural. You could even try a photo backdrop to get a more natural bg. Let me stress that these are still great as is. But if you are going to the trouble of setting up lights you might consider adding a back drop ~ Ron

ok, here's the setting I used to take these pictures.

I use my 200 f2 with 1.4 tc at f8, iso 100

My einsteins flash(with 30 degree grid) were at about 80w power(action mode), the 11 long throw reflector give an additional 1 stop and a half, ideal for capturing action!

I also use a 51 inch 6 in 1 westcott reflector and choose the sunlight side, to bring warm colors.

And lots of patience
