Location
This photo was taken in the mountains of Baja California during the hummingbird migration-This Allen's female was stopping to feed to continue her long journey North.Time
I love the late day light that gives shadows and highlights the subtle colors of these beautiful birds.Lighting
Late day, watch your shadows and highlights!Equipment

The beauty of these amazing little balls of feathersEditing
CroppedIn my camera bag
All I have is an older Canon 6D, my 150-600 G2 Tamron zoom and a 24-70 Canon lens, two batterios, and a charger, one ND6 filter and an old fabulously stable manfrotto tripod. I'd love to have new things but they are pricey, I work within my budget and hope to get a wide angle lens soon!Feedback
Be patient, sit and watch, learn behaviors, take lots of pictures, don't be afraid to experiment with angles and light!
