#3 and #5 really get me the most.

great eye-contact and the action is nice.

#1 & #3 are different from the normal angles but interesting may I say. 4 & 5 have are good stop action with nice amount of wing blur. These little guys are long gone from here.

Where and how exactly do you find there birds?
Bird sanctuaries? Parks?

Thanks for the comments.... There are three places that I go to shoot Hummers... One is my neighbors backyard....two is a local outdoor Hummingbird Garden...and three is Butterfly world....they also have hummers.

The How is really not that difficult.... they keep the same flight patterns for the most part....If you watch them they will do the same thing over and over again...just put yourself in their pattern and be still and wait... Plus because you already know their pattern it gives you the opportunity to fine tun your settings and your flash.

Cheers, joe

Cheers, and thanks again.
