1st try w/flash-hummer

I decided to take a few hours off and try this flash thing with a hummer. I used a Canon 580 EXll with a better Beamer attached and my 1Dmark 3 w/ 500 lens & a 1.4 converter for most of the shots. What a surprise when I got out the book for the flash ??? way beyond me so what the heck trial & error for me.

I was lucky I found a Rufus which is my favorite of the hummingbirds, cuz of his attitude.

Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus)

Often described as "feisty," the Rufous may have the ideal size-to-weight ratio among North American hummingbirds. This bird outflies all other species, and usually gets its way at feeders at the expense of slower, less-maneuverable hummers. The Rufous has the longest migration route of all US hummingbirds.
