Sunset Hummer

Gallery: AvianPosted August 10, 2013225 views6 comments

In my never ending quest to come up with something different with hummingbirds, I decided to setup my lights to create a late evening sunset kind of shot.

This one was done with 2 flashes, one on the background and one to generate a small rim light on the hummer.

Interested to hear your thoughts.

Canon 5D Mark III

Your quest for something different has yielded a piece of art. Superbly done in every respect.

Gorgeous image, Keith. This would be tough to improve upon, but if you want to try for just a glimmer of light in the eye, that might cap it off.
