One shot hummer

[Uncle Frank]

My hummingbirds have gotten camera shy. I'm only able to get one shot, and they're off like a rocket. I had a fruitless few hours yesterday, with only 4 captures, none of which were in focus. I decided to give it a try this morning, and again, only one chance per feeder visit. But I managed to get a keeper anyway :smile:.

Is that anything like a one trick pony ?

That's a very nice capture, Frank. I saw my first of about four Hummingbirds in the wild yesterday at the Chicago Botanical Gardens with Papa85 and his friend, Jim. I spotted them...they spotted us...and they were gone like a cool breeze on a summer's day. But is was so cool!

Nice hummer Frank. What was your flash set-up for this one?

You not only got a keeper Frank, you got an excellent keeper. Way to go my friend. Love the way the colors blend with the gorget (is that a word).

Thanks, Frank. Just two strobes for this one... the sb800 on-camera, and a slave about 30% off to the side.

Thanks, Gordon! Gorget is not only a word... it's the right word :wink:.
