I was cruising through the flicker strobist group the other day and ran across a hummer shot that was stunning. After detailed look, I realized that the specular highlights in the feathers just glistened---Not the gorget or other irridescent feathers---just the regular wing and body feathers---they litterally shined and sparkeled. After reading the guys method and setup, he used a silver umbrella to achieve this effect---WHich made perfect sense to me after Seans recent post talking about what he doesn't like about silver umbrellas (for people).


So, Something new to try and talk about.
