Here's a multi-flash shot from Guango Lodge from this year's Ecuador tour.  It's full frame, I wish I hadn't clipped the wing of the bird on the left but I still really like the image.
Canon 5D3 500F4 1/200 F20, iso 400, 5 Nikon SB-26 Slave Flashes at 1/16 fired by 580ex.  Gitzo tripod, Wimberley head.

Nate, Well-captured. It's nice to see two different angles on the bird.

This is still a very cool shot Nate. I like the wing position on both the hummers and the action is excellent.
