 Species: Green-crowned Brilliant (Heliodoxa jacula) Location: Northern Costa Rica highlands Date: February, 2013 Photographer: James McIntyre Equipment: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV, EF 100-400 mm F/4.5-5.6L IS USM, handheld ISO: 320 Exposure Mode: Manual, 1/200 @ f/13 Metering: Evaluative Flash: Remote-triggered multiflash by Greg Basco Hummingbirds are the most accomplished fliers of the bird world. With wings beating 12-80 times per second, they can perform amazing hiigh-speed aerial maneuvers - even flying backward. Here I was fortunate to capture the spectacular aerobatics of a pair of Green-crowned Brilliants, with the male flying upside-down! Many thanks to Greg Basco (www.deepgreenphotography.com) for his expert multiflash setup. Fleetingly, the hungry hummers flew into a miniature portrait studio. (Note the highlight along the rim of the female's head and back.) Comments welcome. Last edited by James McIntyre on Wed Apr 16, 2014 12:07 am, edited 7 times in total. |
