Beautiful images! Thank you for showing us your setup as well.
Guest 18-Jan-2007 01:29
Gorgeous shots, and an amazing setup also. Your backgrounds are very well suited to the color schemes of the birds, nice touch. Have you thought of diffusing some of the closer flash heads? Might take down the specularity a tiny bit. Then again at f/5.6 you probably need all the light you can get for those frozen wings 1/200 speed. They're beautiful.
Andrew Vincent17-Jan-2007 22:17
Wow, and I am still undecided whether to use flash for macro. Never thought to use it for nature action shots. All I have to do is buy another 5 flash units and I'll be set. Superb gallery! vote.
