CAMERA
Medium format camera
120mm macro lens
Short extension tube
SETUP
Two medium sized soft-lights were used. The first was placed bebind the
flowers and was actually used as the entire background surface. The second
softlight was placed to the right of the lens. A white fill card was placed
to the left of the lens. A laser trigger
was aligned across the inner throat of the iris so when the hummingbird
came in to drink the necktar her beak would break the beam. A delay
module was used to delay the trigger signal long enough for the bird
to finish inserting her beak before an electronic
cable release tripped the shutter. After everything is setup theres's
nothing to do but go and sit in a lawn chair until your strobes go off
and then its time to recock the shutter and take another break.
