Hummingbirds Lighting Setup

This is the lighting setup that I used this morning to take a few pictures of hummingbirds coming to one of our feeders. I prefer not to have the feeder in my pictures so I clipped a couple of branches with flowers onto the support for the feeder. It's a more natural look. When I'm using this setup, I'm inside the house shooting through the window after first removing the red curtain. I took this picture after I had put everything away, so I had to set it up again, and the lights are not all at the height I used to originally photograph the hummers.

 

The setup is a YN560, a YN560-II and a YN560-III on light stands pointed at the feeder. The strobes are triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N on my camera.

 

People seem to find these setup shots helpful so every so often I post one to share what I've learned from others. I didn't figure this out by myself. Other setup shots I've posted are in my Setup Shots album.
