Illustrating the amazing detail from the 5DS-r 50mp sensor:

Hummingbird in flight image was captured using 2 Einstein flashes set to low power which provides short duration flash around 1/19,000 sec

5DS-R tripod mounted with Canon 500mm f4L IS USM I

Manual mode
ISO 400
1/200 sec
f/14

I'm thinking that hummingbird wings move faster than thistles. Wow!

As always, it's tough to choose among all of the excellent images. For this week, I think top honors go to Denise for her Garden Visitor.

Looking forward to next week, happy shooting!

Congrats Denise!!! Beautiful image with creative post processing....as usual :)

Congratulations, Denise! The processing makes this more evocative than usual butterfly shots.

Excellent work Denise. Great choice!
