I had to. Sorry. I've been trying forever to get even a 1/2-way decent hummingbird shot, and this is the only one so far that's even been recognizable. Those birds are so FAST! I can't believe some of the shots that other people have gotten.
I don't have these near me (which saves me taking up all my time trying to capture them), but here is one, momentarily holding its place for you, dancing, lightly, flaunting not only its ability to avoid the camera, or should it so choose, to allow the camera to capture at least a part of it, but taunting us even in a still image with its ability to do what the whole of humanity has spent eternity only dreaming of doing as truly . . .
you nailed it Sandy! PERFECT! I too am haunted by the seeming inability to get these birdies to hover just long enough fo rme to catch one decently!
they are here simply to taunt me, I fear...:)
Well done! I love these little birds, and I tried all this past weekend to get a fairly descent shot of one of these, and I failed terribly. Your DOF is nice, and the little bird great!
