When you Gotta Go.......
by Jim Zablotny
When you gotta go, you gotta go. Another one of my experimental high speed flash shots. The first year male ruby throated hummingbird apparently had to get rid of some excess water. I positioned one flash high above the bird, one beneath the bird, one mounted on a flash bracket near camera as the master, and the last one on the BG. All flashes set to 1/16th power. I used the last of my big paper sheets for the background so I could not change the BG to one that was darker. K5 IIs 600 mm f5.6 All manual settings (1/125 sec at f20, Iso 200) Levels, White Balance, Crop for comp. Dennis, yesterday I used the nodding onion flower and the birds ignored it so the red cannas were todays choice morsel loaded up with syrup. Let me know what you think about this attempt. Thank you for looking..................Jim
