Hummer Brake & Back Up
My second fave from this hummer shoot. Not sure how to spell errrrttt… but looks like quick brakes to me :-) I absolutely adore watching these little hummers and waste way to much time doing so. Currently I have 3 feeders out on separate sides of the house so they speed around it racing and fighting for dominion. For this shot I was sitting on the front porch swing about 2-3 feet from the feeder using my 105 Macro and an on camera speed-light bounced with diffusion. I'm sure the people driving by think I've totally lost my mind… they can't see the hummers but they see me sitting there with camera to face for what could be hours jerking back & forth, forwards & backwards… not a pretty site I'm sure but certainly fun for me ~ LOL. Love, Hugs & Laughter Always!!!

on May 14, 2012Thanks for all the comments & Barb, fingers crossed & wishing you the best!!!! Patience is king. This was shot at f/10 allowing for more depth of field but seems only possible when using flash to freeze these little ones. Even at f/10 his wing tips are starting to blur & some of the photos show what looks like wing ghosting because their sooooooo super fast :-)

on May 12, 2012The detail on this blows me away. I have spent many an hour shooting hummingbirds with a flash, but none have come even close to this. i am going to try to get in closer and use the bounce flash/diffusion technique. Wish me luck.
