Photographing Hummingbirds with Nikon D4, Sigma 120-300mm ƒ/2.8 DG OS HSM | S & a High-Speed Sync Flash

The hummingbird bird feeder we have is close to the house. I have a door with many window panes where I put the two hot shoe flashes using TTL to control their output.

 
I kept the camera on a tripod, so I had very little to do except shoot when the hummingbirds came.

The color is so much better than just available light.

For comparison, this is the photo I posted yesterday with the Fuji X-E2 and the 55-200mm.

You can’t shoot high-speed sync flash with the Fuji system I know how to use. Maybe later.
