The side profile one was a 6x6 mini softbox next to the feeder, about 6" from the bird. You can see it reflected in the eye. Then another light opposite side, no modifier, about 3 feet away, maybe a stop cooler than the main. Flash duration on that one is slower because it was at higher power, and that's why you can kind of see through the wings. I'd bring it closer next time. Big aperture on a 35mm lens so it has the wide-angle perspective, but still pops off the background. Tons of shit hanging off a C stand, tripod, etc. and waiting for one to fly through the pre-focused spot. Camera to bird is maybe a foot. Fun fact, they poop sugar.

0/10 but would do again.

Wow, that's a setup 🤩 I've only ever done on camera, or a handheld flash off to the side 😂

2 speedlights and 3 PocketWizards should be on everyone's wish list for maximum nerdery.
