Can you stand one more hummingbird shot? This one is special!

Caught this one in flight catching a little protein snack! Didn't see the bug at all until I cropped in on the photo.

Awesome capture. I'm ordering a new feeder to replace the broken one that was here before we moved in.

Oh, yeah ... nominated.

Excellent shooting.....

BEAUTIFUL! That's actually pretty rare capture. You should shop this image to a birding society.

Brilliant!

That's a terrific capture, @SquarePeg !! You might go the rest of your life shooting these guys and not see a tiny gnat (or whatever it is) like this. Fantastic technically, and just the fact that you were there with the perfect settings make this one a real winner.

Seems like your good with some luck splashed in.

Please, not another of these trophy shots I'd never get even with a large calibre handgun aimed at my head! Stunning. Bravo!

Thank you. Wouldn’t know where to start with that!

Thanks Terri! Agree probably never get something like this again. I’ve been working through trial and error on finding the best exposure settings and the af mode choices for shooting these guys. Now if I can just get a ruby throated male to show me the goods lol. Still haven’t gotten a clean shot of one with colors showing. #goals

Lol. Thanks very much!
