Setting up on my back porch waiting for the humming bird to arrive. Didn't allow myself much time to shoot. As I was tearing down, here follows the male. Oh well, looking forward to another day.

Nice setup (and shot). What are the dishes on the flashes?

I shoot in the front yard near the street so I use a second remote camera to watch the tripod.

Those are
7" Reflectors for Bowens Strobe light attached to a bowens S bracket. In addition to the reflectors, you can get the 10, 20, 30 degree grids for them. I have them mounted on a microphone stand with a 20lbs base for stability. Hope this helps. Thanks for looking.

Thanks oldpsych, I do enjoy the porch area. I have water on the edge of the property, allowing all types of critters. Find it hard to go elsewhere!
