Location
This was taken on my patio. There were about four - six "hummers" feeding continuously so, it was a waiting game for the perfect shot.Time
Mid to late afternoon.Lighting
The lighting was shade with sunny conditions.Equipment
Canon EOS 400D Tamron 18-270mm 1. 3.5-6.3 Handheld No flashInspiration
Hummingbirds are beautiful. They are a photographic challenge because of their speed and size which forces me to keep learning how to better capture great photos.Editing
This was shot "Raw" and Luminar was used to post process.In my camera bag
Canon EOS 400D; Canon EOS M Tamron 18-270mm 3.5-6.3; Tamron 60mm f2 MACRO Canon 50mm f1.8; Canon 22mm f1.2 MACRO Manfrotto Tripod 12in; Sunpac 6600 PRO Tripod w/ ball headLear the feeding habits of the birds and plan according with special attention on lighting conditions.Feedback
Plan ahead. Learn the feeding habits of your subject(s) and how to use the availanle lighting conditions. Try to not use flash. The birds will be frightened away. Have patience and tke lots of shots.
