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.
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. =)
oh my goodness, I can't begin to describe how much I love this...such a great capture, you either have a TON of patience or that is one incredibly lucky shot! Either way, its fantastic! :)
@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!
This is a favourite to me!
