Location
The photo was taken from my living room looking out on the balcony. The bird is guarding his territory from other hummingbirds. The feathers around his neck suggest he is a juvenile, a typical teenager!Time
Mid afternoon, no direct sunlight but lots of light.Lighting
not anything special, just enough light for a low enough ISO.Equipment
Canon 77D, no flash, tripodInspiration
I was puzzled as to which hummingbird this was, as the spots around his neck were unusual. Turns out he was a juvenile Allen's, not uncommon at all.Editing
Just a little cropping.In my camera bag
three lens, 17-55, 50mm, and 50 -200. ND and CPL filters.Feedback
I had to be very patient, the little bird did not stay in one spot for long and I wanted to capture him on the round shaped hanger. So I had to stand very still at the window and wait....
