KD, beautiful photos. I was there about 10 yrs ago with a small group, went to Guango, to a lodge run by a white family. The density of the birds was not so great. Where did you go?

One very, very minor nitpick. Some of the shots have more than one highlight in the eyes, which is a dead give-away of the strobe setup. You might want to clone these out.

Great stuff otherwise. Truly a paradise to visit.

Another beautiful set! You must be making plans to return to Ecuador ASAP. A photographer could get addicted to a place with such incredible subjects.

thanks Dallvr, and yes I have been thinking about going back but I'll probably wait for some time and visit other places before I go back to Ecuador.

Such a varied set! So many types of beautiful hummers, but those swordbills have got my picks by far - what a cool and unique bird.

Nicely done, KD.

Thanks Pradeep, these were with Luis, and his family has lodges all over Ecuador. we were in Quito, high cloud mountains in the Andes, low cloud mountain, in the rain forests, and in other lodges in the Amazon. They are building a lodge in a lake in the Amazon, which will be completed by 2020 end. Regarding the eyes, some are shot with multiflash hence the multiple catchlight/flash highlight. I'll try to clone it out. Thanks.

1, 2, 9, 15, 17, 22 and 24 are my favourites from this vibrant, moody set. Very nice work all around.

Thanks KD. I was in Quito and also in the cloud forest area just past Papallacta, stayed at the Guango Lodge. It was a workshop run by Linda Robbins (now Mazurek). This was in 2009. Have not done anything with Hummingbirds since then. There are so many places to go and so little time

Jeff

thanks so much Jeff. The swordbills were probably the most difficult HBs to shoot since they were very skittish and also getting them lined up in the frame was a challenge

thanks so much Geoff. I did not realize until this trip how difficult it is to shoot these little (some not so little) fellas.
