Re: Hummingbird with fill flash
Fascinating image, Steve. Like bumble bees, you'd think that wings that small couldn't lift a body that large in flight, let alone be able to hover perfectly motionless in the air!

Our hummingbird population seems to have moved on to greener pastures, apparently in expectation of the coming Fall weather. Hope you don't mind, but I'm learning from your photos Steve, and plan to put that to work come next Spring when they return to our backyard feeders.

What is your aim Steve? To completely freeze every moving part of the bird, while keeping it all in focus? Originally Posted by Steve S

Anyways, I'd certainly like to see that image, if that's what you're after, and if and when you get it, but with that aside this shot you have just posted is phenomenal. I don't see how it's possible to improve on it much. If at all. Massive respect
