More Hummingbirds
This morning I was back at it in the backyard photographing hummingbirds. I was having a heck of a time getting my exposures down. It looks like it is time to replace all of the batteries in the flashes. Fresh batteries always makes the flashes more consistent. There were a lot of Anna's Hummingbirds coming to the feeder and flowers with a few Rufous Hummingbirds thrown in. The Rufous definitely have a lot more attitiude. When the flashes go off some of them turn to the flashes and flash their gorget in defiance. One tough little bird. All the hummingbird images were created with a Canon 7D and a Canon 100-400 IS lens and four Canon 540 EZ flashes set to 1/16th power. Exposures varied.
May you have a blessed day, chris
