It's #4 for me Ted, but they're all great. Ii cannot get my hummingbirds to feed at flowers. They are too taken with the feeders. If I didn't put the feeders out, I don't think they'd come at all.--Paul

First and foremost, these are some of the best images I've seen of this amazing little bird. Granted the only people who probably view this thread are enthusiasts, that try and get images of them all the time.
But heres a view from someone fairly new to photographing birds in general, and I only saw my first one of these 2 years ago. I can't believe how small they are, which makes any image of them pretty impressive. I tried to photograph them over the weekend, which makes me appreciate these images even more, Just to catch that ruby color is a feat in itself, off axis it almost seems to literally disappear. Then theres the speed, its almost as if they beam in and out at will, and this was at a feeder, where I would much rather shoot them at a flower such as represented here.
Just seeing them at all seems to be quite a chore, especially If they happen to be in the shade. I was sitting no more than 10 or 15 feet away from a feeder waiting for them to show, when panning around with my 100-400, I happen to notice when sitting on a branch about 8 feet away, of course in shade, and had there eyes closed, I can only assume resting.Never even knew it was there.
Again and I hope you never grow tired of hearing it, amazing images !...Show more →
