Beautiful capture! Nice job. I know how hard it is to get a shot of these fast-moving birds. The bokeh is amazing!

Thank you, John. Every year I try to photograph these fast-moving hummingbirds, and this time I was lucky that all the shooting conditions turned out to be right.

WOW!!! I don’t know how you do this, Hien! I’ve yet to capture a hummingbird so clearly. You must have a very very powerful lens. I’m impressed!!

Thank you Amy! I used the same lens that you have, Canon 100-400 mm. But the morning light was perfect for the shot, F/8 at 1/640 sec.

You are right, Emma. Hummers have been difficult for me to photograph, but this time things turned out right.

She is a beauty! I can imagine it’s so challenging to “capture” them while they are hovering. Really cool 🙂

Thank you Takami! It took me almost an hour to get the right conditions for that photo: a bright morning sun, and a hummer that got used to my being near the feeder.
