Touché Conropl

Well, Here it is, My first hummer of the season. I still have to be very patient because the birds aren't hitting the feeders often enough to get good opportunities. I do like my new studio box and having enough flashes to completely eliminate ambient light.

7d, 500L, Tripod, remote shutter release, 4 flashes set to 1/32nd (two on the bird and two on the background
ISO 200, F9, 1/250th manual settings, manual focus

Wow Bob... that is a great one, and for that to be the first of the year is amazing.

Fantastic Bob!

Awesome start!!! Love that BG, is it a print or real flowers?

Fantastic Bob!!

Agreed. Amazing shot!

Hooray! I was just thinking about this thread today when a hummer checked me out on the patio for a second or two. Happy to see that they came back to your yard
