High There!

A heavily cropped shot of the Allen's Hummingbird male(First year) from yesterday. Maybe he thought the camera lens was my nectar feeding apparatus. I definitely felt his gaze. You can pick out the individual barbs on his feathers.

[Jeremy Nicoll]

Freaking amazing. I hope one day to get a hummingbird in flight like this.

[Autumn Eden]

Wow! This is fantastic!!! I still haven't had any hummingbirds visiting my feeder yet but you can hear them clicking in the trees so I think I need to move it closer to the trees. Sooner or later I will get to practice taking pictures of them. =)

[Danielle]

Nice contrast of the blur of his wing tip and the still clarity of his body. The background looks cool as well.

[FaerieMoon]

This rocks. How the heck did you get this close? (aside from the crop) You must have a mega-lens.

[Yvonne Griffin]

Amazing. They are so hard to "catch".

[Robert Velten]

@clarissajohal I used a 70-200 zoom, hand held with image stabilization. Had to manual focus since the AF was hunting all over the place with the busy background. I was about 2 meters away, lots of fun trying to track him. Thanks to all for the kind comments!

[Rainee]
