More often than not, their most active feeding time doesn’t equal to great lighting condition 🙂 I took this one when the Sun was just about to set; with a slow shutter, the wings were quite blurred, figured to try something new here and spice it up a little; my only hope is that this is not an epic fail.. 🙂 Hope you enjoy….

This is a female ruby throated hummingbird in my yard, cloudy day creates great soft light on the subject, downside is that I had to lower the shutter and open the lens a little bit hence the shallow DoF.

We associate hummingbirds with drinking nectar from flowers, but hummingbirds also need protein to survive. They catch insects in midair and eat bugs from spider webs.
These amazing little birds weighing only 0.1 oz can fledge in summer and migrate thousands of miles for winter.

They are called “Ruby Throated Hummingbird” because adult male has iridescent ruby red feather in the neck area. The Gorget is vivid red when light is hitting it at a straight angle but most of the time it is muted color (like the one shown).
I always wanted to capture male hummers in action as they are obviously more colorful, for some reason I don’t have many male hummers in my yard as they always get chased away by females :). This guy showed up the other day so I snapped a few. He is not the prettiest male hummer in my yard and also has a combat wound in his chest, I also didn’t catch him with a front light, probably not my best capture but nevertheless happy that I finally have a BIF of male hummer.

Another day, another hummer..By far my favorite bird, I love watching them on a quiet morning. These fellas are fast, elegant, cute, tiny and fierce, hope you have not gotten tired of these pictures.

Would have preferred a lower ISO for less noise… D750 is amazing in high ISO performance so I pushed it a little bit in favor of a fast shutter, these cuties can flap their wings 50 times a second!
It is a similar setting as the other hummingbird picture I posted couple weeks’ ago but this is actually a different bird. Judging from lack of red feathers in the neck area, I figure this is a female hummer.

By far my favorite backyard birds! First time chasing them this year, I almost forgot how tiny and fast these fellas are.. Still fine tuning my settings, hopefully this won’t be my last (and best) hummingbird capture this summer.
