The Back Yard Missiles

[wrighton]

Thought I’d give the Hummingbirds in the backyard a little photo op. Usually my BIF passion is those big slow flying Bald Eagles, though I have to say getting a good focus lock on those Hummers is a lot of fun.

Thanks Bill, that Hummer needs a big “S” on its chest for Super Hummer. Hard as I tried, just couldn’t get a shot of a Aerial Fight like you posted recently. Actually your post kind of inspired me to photograph some Hummers.

Thank you Allan, the D500 w/ 70-200 2.8 E was used for the featured photo and the other two with a Hummer at the flowers was from the D850 / 500 PF and both lenses produce sharp images.
