| Thanks everyone for the nice comments on this photo. Yes, the shutter speed was 1/200 ( the max flash sync speed on the D60 camera) The technique I used to freeze the wings was to use 5 flash units (vivatar 285's). I used only 1/16 power on each head so as to have a very short duration (measured at 1/10000 sec). I used a apeture of about f16 to ensure that almost all the light came from the flash units. So the bottom line is the effective shutter speed was about 1/10,000 enough to freeze the wings of a hummingbird. |

Exactly what I thought as I scrolled down! Maybe it's a typo for 1/2000?
Super clarity and fortuitous "pose!" |
