Hummingbird

wow, that is an expensive piece of gear. If you are any good with DIY you can make one of those for a fraction of the price :) I'll be making my own soon for a little photo project I want to do (so much work for just one photo, lol)

I tried that and they completely lost all idea where I needed them to be. :rofl:

My goal was to try for a hover show with nothing, but a pure blue sky background.

I have a bunch of feeders to keep the the hummer's around and I'll be trying again.

Your nice result motivated me to try it. The hummers at my parent's house in rural NE Oklahoma are very used to humans. This was shot on a balcony from about two feet away with an M42 55mm SMC Takumar lens and built-in flash, 1/200 sec.

Cropped to 100%.
