Canon 1Ds Mark II 100-400 IS L Lens 1/250 ISO 200 f 28 Multiflash Technique

I have previsualized this image of a hummingbird approaching the flowers head on with symmetrically extended wings so I could place the bird centered on the frame, using a single focus sensor on servo mode autofocus dead on the head, I began to fire as soon he entered on the right position, using the Turbo 2x2 batteries on the 580 flashes guaranteed a recycling time equal to the camera (3 ffs), upon review of the burst of pictures I smiled when it popped on the LCD.

Thanks for looking, all brutal comments are appreciated, thanks for looking.

Wonderful idea and love that wings position, Juan!
May be a little more room at bottom would be even better ...

Great to see your vision captured, Juan. Love the pose but wish for a tad more room for the tail. Still lovely though.
