Howdy All,

The nest is located along a narrow, shady walkway on the side of my neighbor’s house.

IMAGE: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v661/dave_weldon/Photography/HummingBirds/Hummingbirds-Babies-1.jpg

T2i, 70-200mm MII @ 200mm, f/16 and manually pre-focused.
580EXII flash set to ½ power and popped through mini-softbox.
The camera was 6' away with a calculated DOF of about 2”. The flash was on a separate stand about 2’ away from nest.
Triggered using three Yongnuo RF-603C wireless remotes for camera and flash while I was inside the house looking out the window :).

See Ya, Dave

Howdy,

Those hummingbird nests are certainly tiny! 2" is probably pretty close :D.
