Hummingbird at Dusk

Kim, I'm very impressed with your hummingbird pictures. I've been trying to photograph a couple in my backyard but they're just too high up in the tree or they fly away from the feeder when they hear the shutter on my camera.

Donna,

 

It takes a lot of patience to get bird shots. The best way is to just go sit out by the feeders frequently and the birds get used to you after awhile. We are lucky with this hummer because he doesn't fly away when you click the shutter. I have better luck with bird pictures when it's rainy. We have a house on stilts, so we are up in the trees already, which is a plus. Thanks for your comments!

This little guy likes to sit and pose for us. Comments?

What a beautiful shot - I love this one

Thanks, Joseph. My challenge for this year is to get a good hummingbird-in-flight shot.

another lovely birdie...and its amazing...u can do it all with a 80-200 lens!

thats good field technique and lots of trust on the bird's part.

 

Ujwal, this little bird will hang around pretty close. Sometimes I'm only a few feet away from him.
