Really cool looking Hummer Geoff, and you caught some great poses of him "dancing" on the leaves.
The purple flowers add such a great contrast to all of the green.
Congrats on a few very productive minutes with this little beauty. Well done.

Beautiful captures of this little bird with an unusual tail feather orientation.

What beautiful shots. Quite the animated looking hummer. Love the set.

Did you have a preference as to shooting with the flash set up or without. You certainly came away with beautiful images from each .

I still prefer shooting in natural light over the multi-flash. It was my first time ever trying multi-flash and I enjoyed it but for me I prefer the more natural look (lower DOF, more shadows) of the non-flash shots. Then there was the difference between natural light with some sort of setup (like a flower near a feeder or perch near a feeder postiitoned for a clean background) VS shooting this little guy in totally natural bushes (and the ones I posted in the Volcano, Snowcap thread). I like both of those type of shooting equally.

In the end no matter what way one shoots these hummers it is all lots of fun. At least with the multi flash you can have a cerveza in one hand and your remote trigger in the other!!

Thanks Morris...this was the one day we were out in a bit of light rain...probably would have been good to have a few more days of light rain as it improves the light and the look of the flowers as you mentioned.
