One of my fave hummers of the 18 species we have here in Trinidad & Tobago. This is the White-necked Jacobin, all taken with natural light only, thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoy the view.

Eyeing Pink Powder puff nectar







Free as a bird a hummingbird...

Always ready to defend the feeding grounds from trespassers

Great shots. One of my favorites here in Colombia. They fan their tail to intimidate hummers but it doesn't seem to work. Around a feeder anyway.

Hi, would you be willing to share what camera and what settings you used to capture these incredible images? The photos are really beautiful and hummingbirds are so fast!

Excellent photos of a beautiful bird. I prefer all my hummingbird photos to be in natural light. I don't like the look of multi-flash hummingbird setups.

Milano these images were all taken in the rainforest in low light. I used a Nikon D750 along with 300mmf4 and 1.4tc for these captures. ISO were between 1600 -6400, aperture values of f6.3 - f9 along with shutter speeds between 1/1000- 1/2000th. I hope these are helpful!

Wishing you all good light and happy photography!

regards,
WSJR

I agree. The only problem is you have to have very good light especially for flight shots which can be hard to come by in cloud forest environments. Those multi-flash set ups may freeze the bird perfectly but they look very un natural.

Like natural light myself and flight shots especially, which makes these even more of an achievement.
Makes our Ruby Throated Hummers look rather bland If you ask me.Yes its all we have I suppose, but at least we have them, well at least until the cool weather sets in and there off to warmer climates.
