We have spenta lot of time discussinghow to perfect hummingbird photographybut occasionally nothing goes right yet you still end up with a good or even a great shot---Here is my example of that very situation---an old shot from last year.


Flashes didn't fire


To much ambient light


Poor settings


Mediocre camera and lens (400D and 100-400)


But it is still one of my favorite H-bird shots to date
