p.1 #1 · From Head to Tip of Tail - Grooming Hummer


This young man, found a favorite branch to do the ever important grooming.

Fun to watch how he covered just about every part . Here are just a few shots of the process.

As always your nits, crits and suggestions are most appreciated.

Thank you for looking.

I hope you enjoy,

Birdie




1.Need to get all that pollen off my head ! Hard with these short legs






2. Got to get the sides, they get so itchy






3.Now for the other side






4. Got to keep those nails clean, they keep me holding on






5. Wait, is that a little bug, need to stop for a snack






6. Can't forget the tail feathers they help with my quick moves






7.All that grooming makes me hungry

Yes, grooming is mandatory and you documented the whole process really well, Birdie! The fill light (flash, I assume) did wonder here.

Really nice set Birdie. Impossible to pick a favorite but I probably like 1,2, and 3 the most.

As always nice series! Question, if you did use fill flash why the high shutter speed? I haven't done any of that type of work so it's not a criticism just for my info.

I am no flash expert by any stretch of the imagination. My limited understanding of High Speed Sync Flash (HSS) is that it basically turns your flash into a strobe . The HSS becomes the continuous source of light for the duration of the shutter speed. Since it is a continuous source of light it does not stop motion.

If I am incorrect on my understanding, please someone educate me.


Thanks
Birdie
