Behind The Lens

Location

I took this at my home in Maryland

Time

Probably mid day because that is when the sun hits my butterfly bush

Lighting

I have to stand very still and wait for hummingbirds to visit my butterfly bush, they can come and go very quickly

Equipment

I shot this with my Canon 80D, Sigma 150-600mm contemporary, no tripod, no flash

Inspiration

I love to capture hummingbirds because they are so small, quick and beautiful

Editing

Yes, I'm sure I did my usual edits, highlights down, contrast, crop, shadows up, noise reduction if necessary

In my camera bag

Canon 80D Sigma 150-600mm contemporary Sigma 17-50mm Canon 50mm Canon 25mm

Feedback

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
