I love hummingbirds but I can never catch one sitting still long enough, or get close enough to one, to photograph them. Yesterday I went to a shop out in the country and there were about 5 of them that just hung around this bird feeder the whole time I was there. I still couldn't seem to get a really good focus on one but this was the best of the batch. I could have sat there all afternoon and watched them.
Check out a "just for fun" photo of them in my extra album.
Great shot. I know how hard it is to get a good hummingbird shot A couple of months ago while we were on vacation - the bed and breakfast had a bunch of hummingbird feeders on the side of the house. I got out my tripod and aimed it at one of the feeders and sat on the grass and waited i took a bunch of photos - managed to get a couple of good ones.
You did very well and I love his colors. I was just grumbling today to my hubby that I haven't even seen one in all the time I've been on 365. But yet the hummingbird feeder water disappears. They are so tiny!
