Now that fall is here and the ruby-throated hummingbirds have left I thought I would share a few images from this past summer. All were taken with a multi-flash setup.

These are lovley Mike. I'm wondering why the wings are not blurred at 1/200.

These were taken with a multi-flash setup Morris, so only the light from the flash is contributing to the exposure.

Thank you very much for the kind words everyone.

Excellent lighting Mike, just one catchlight in the eye so things look good

Each is clean and sharp with wonderful color, I personally like to see a bit of wing blur, however you have this down to a science with your lighting and it is perfectly freezing the wings! Amazing images and great technical work to make them happen and look this wonderful
