Location
I took this at my home in MarylandTime
Probably mid day because that is when the sun hits my butterfly bushLighting
I have to stand very still and wait for hummingbirds to visit my butterfly bush, they can come and go very quicklyEquipment
I shot this with my Canon 80D, Sigma 150-600mm contemporary, no tripod, no flashInspiration
I love to capture hummingbirds because they are so small, quick and beautifulEditing
Yes, I'm sure I did my usual edits, highlights down, contrast, crop, shadows up, noise reduction if necessaryIn my camera bag

Stand still and wait!!! Make sure your light source is behind you and subject in front of you, they are quick so have your finger on the shutter button ready to fire
