Male Green-crowned Brilliant feeding on an Orange Ginger Flower
Unlike the previous hummingbird image I posted, this image was taken using a multi-flash (4 flashes) set-up. By eliminating the ambient light and using multiple synchronized flashes set at low power, you are able to capture images at what is effectively ~1/8000 - 1/20000 of a second (i.e. even though the camera's shutter speed is 1/200 of a second (under the flash synch speed), the effective time to discharge the flashes when set at low power (the only source of light affecting the exposure) is much, much faster).
