 Costa Rica 2008 IMO the key to a successful multi-flash hummingbird set-up is getting the lighting to look natural. It's easy to set up 4 or 5 flashes and take a test shot until the exposure is "right" - but often times the result is a totally front-lit bird and flower with no drama to the lighting. By carefully adjusting the positioning of your strobes (and actually metering each one independently) you can achieve the desired effect of some directional lighting where defining shadows and hightlights make the image look more "real". A somewhat drab bird but one that only comes around for a minute or two at a time, so a special one to capture.  EOS 5D, 300/2.8IS, 1/250 @ f18, ISO 200, multi flash set-up. Greg Downing
