Anna's Hummingbird showing some wing action. I would have loved to have had more of the mobility of his wings, but if I had set my SS lower due to the lighting and his lack of sitting still for too long.....I figured he would be long gone before I got anything!! Lol!!!

With that 750 you can kick up your shutter speed to 2500 and your ISO up 1100 and if the moon is right and the stars line up you could get the wings to stop but I think there is nothing wrong with what you got. The color is spot on and the detail is there, So maybe just shoot shoot shoot, and have fun.

Thanks Mark. This time I actually was trying to get the multiple wing movements.....slowed my SS down...but knew if I slowed it down too much, he would be gone in seconds and I'd get nothing!.....these little guys don't sit too long!! ; ) If I get the chance again....I will capture him with a high ISO and SS! Thanks for the advice!

Thanks Nina. Like I mentioned to Mark, I was trying for the multiple wing movement. But for sure in my next photo will use the higher ISO and SS to "freeze" those wings! : )

Very Nice shot. I have been trying to capture one of these little guys, but they move around to bloody much. Good for you.

Well, my prior comment just disappeared! I have 3 hummers that buzz my garden and they, too, are so used to me being out there they will fly up in front of my face, looking at me and then buzz off. They will swoop in, hover and zip off, just to say hi. I love watching them play and zip around. I believe I have 2 females and a male.
