One more from my backyard this evening.

That's about the same size as the one's we see. But they make this guy look really scrawny and of course they spend a lot of time at our feeders. Little flying pigs :)

Totally amazing Doug! Really amazing! I can count on 1 hand the # of Hummingbird shots I have, and they are usually blurry and too small... There is just something magical about Hummingbirds.

This seems lit up really nice, do you use a flash to help light them up?

Thanks, Jim. I use a 500mm lens and always attempt to have the sun at my back early in the morning or late in the day. I shoot one to two stops under and then process it in Lightroom and Photoshop to bring up the brightness. I use ISO 400 and usually shoot at f-stop 6.3 so that I have a high shutter speed to stop movement of these quick little critters.
