Stunning!

Is this something you designed / built yourself or a commercially purchased unit?

Hi all

Thanks for viewing.

The photo is actually inspired by Dr. Graeme Guy Humming Birds Shot recently in Costa Rica.
The setup is actually using Greg Downing's Humming bird setup.

Very simple setup, just using several flashes and dial down to low power and the duration of the flash will be your shutter speed.

For Greg Downing, he using 1/16 power and able to obtain a flash speed of 1/20,000sec.

For my case, i'm shooting in very close distance, around 1m away using my Nikon 200mm Macro lens. It allow me to use 1/64 power, the speed might reaches up to 1/60,000sec, which actually i don't need that fast.

Hopefully i'm free to shoot this week using slightly improved setup as the above photo is my first try in HSF Photography.


Cheers

One of the best shots of this insect I've seen, considering how difficult it is to capture in flight!
