Very nice. What did you shoot him with?

Very nice, Tom. Hummingbirds are tough (for me, anyhow [:)])

Well done, hummers are indeed hard to capture

Re: Ruby-Throated Male Hummer

Beautiful, maybe a few lumens too dark in the mid-tones but with a shot like this you take the best of what you can get.

Catching a hummer in flight is no easy task, many applause for that.

Indeed a great and wonderful shot, Tom!

Love the details and the sense of motion of the wings.

Re: Ruby-Throated Male Hummer

What focal length did you use plus exif data?

I'm guessing he was at 300mm. I'm just able to know that kind of stuff. [;)]

Hi Tom,

Nice pose and good clean background, but the image needs to be brighter. Hope it turns out better next time

Re: Ruby-Throated Male Hummer

nice shot and focus, the best i was able to get was on a feeder, but with these guys it is more about luck than anything. I tried to get this guy while divebombing others and gave up after a couple of hours..

Re: Ruby-Throated Male Hummer

For the exif data interest I used an EF f/4 300mm lens at 1/1300sec, f/4.0, ISO 100, and no flash. I have tried flash in the past but didn't like the "un-natural" look it gave me. Thanks for the nice comments.
