These were taken with a 3 strobes using high speed sync. A little confining having to wait for the birds to fly into the sweet spot.I was attempting to remove the wing blur completely but realized DOF was playing a part. And for all that prefer wing blur, sorry. If we all liked the same type of shots photography would become stagnant and boring.

Beautiful results, Larry! Does the flash disorient the birds?

Thanks Mike. I did a search on the internet before doing that and a few posts said it doesn't affect the birds. When I shot these the hummers seemed to be totally oblivious to the flash. I have the same activity as I did before with the same birds. They love their sugar water!

The technique seems to work quite nicely.
