Multi-Flash Hummingbirds

[Fotografer]

<font color="black"><i><i><font color="black">This was one of my first attempts at trying high speed, short duration, multiple flash attempting to freeze the wing motion of these little speedsters. </font></i></i></p>
<p><i><i><font color="black">Last year, for the most part, I was experiamenting with 'High Speed Sync' and high shutter speeds, up to 1/8000 sec., with limited success at stopping the motion. </font></i></i></p>
<p><i><i><font color="black">With this technique, the very fast, short, flash duration is actually what is stopping the motion with using only 1/250th sec. shutter speed.</font></i></i></p>
<p><i><i><font color="black">Not quite got it down yet and still tweeking my set-up but pretty happy with the results so far.</font></i></i></p>
