Hummingbird Fly-By by taffy

Hummingbird Fly-By

When Junko was here, we tried photographing the hummingbirds that visit our feeder. Mostly they were totally uncooperative. Today, I spent about an hour just sitting out there with my long lens and after taking probably a hundred photos, I downloaded this 6 photos that had promise, and this one was one of the only ones in focus. I really admire photographers who can photograph these in motion!
It looks great to me, especially with that lovely background. I find those little feet ever so cute the way thy are tucked up.

Well done Taffy these tiny birds are so fast and so difficult to capture in flight!

Considering the difficulty of the task, quite a neat shot. I don't know if you used the continuous autofocus which makes it easier to get shots like this. By the way, the shape of the bird resembles the F-117 aircraft.

They are definitely a challenge which I have come close to capturing but not quite to my satisfaction yet. I think you did really well with this shot (and the ratio sounds about right 100 to 1).

I agree. You should have seen Ron @strayshooter and me trying to photograph them in Capistrano when we were there. Bloody hilarious and not a decent photo between us.
