Backyard Hummingirds

[Desi]

My first time trying to shoot these guys. Came out OK but I couldn't get a shot without a power line in the background.

Man, its hard to get focus on these little guys. I was shooting at 1/800 and still not fast enough to stop their wings.

Very nice! I've shot hummers at 1/1600 and not completely stopped the wings.

Excellent!

I think they're all quite good. Especially the sharpness is delicious!

Nice set

With these little guys I focus on what they are going to land on then just wait for them to come in and fire away. Or use a flash
