En Pointe: Anna's Hummingbird
Male Anna's hummingbird (Calypte anna) hovering near a feeder.
I took this photo almost a year ago (April 2015), but only recently rediscovered it in my Aperture archives. I decided to work it up because I liked the colors so much. The hummingbird's position reminded me of a ballet dancer en pointe.
Strobist Info: SB-800 at 1/16 (+1/3) in mini softbox from camera left. SB-700 at 1/8 through umbrella from camera right. Phottix Strato II wireless trigger on SB-700 with wired sync cord from trigger to SB-800. I don't have it noted, but I believe the background was the shaded interior of a cardboard box.
Note: I composited the eye in from a different photo of the same bird because the bird was blinking in this frame.
