my first try with these hummingbirds,in flight.
taken at halls rd,in whitby,a few days ago.

First time!!!
Wow Denis, these are fantastic.
Beautifully captured.
The first shot is my favorite.
I still haven't nailed these guys in flight. Perched, yes, but like this...not even close.
Do you know what your shutter speed was, I can't even freeze their wings at 1/2000.

thanks meghan.
the first one was shot at 1/3200 sec..i,m guessing you need about 1/2500 sec,and up to freeze the wings,but the blurr effect looks good too.depends what you,re after.

Good work Denis!  Have you seen a male down there (a feathered one)?

[newfoundlander61]

Thanks for the tip Denis..it's too bad we have such a short season on which to practice on these guys.
But there is still a little time left.
Off I go.
