Hummingbird #1
I have been asked several times about the backgrounds for my Hummingbird photos. In particular how I achieved the black background. It is not achieved using post processing; it is all done using camera settings and available light sources. These hummingbird photos labeled Hummingbird 1, 2, 3 and4 were all taken within a few minutes of each using approximately the same camera settings. The difference between the light and the dark background was achieved by my changing my camera angle to take advantage of the available light. The light photos were achieved using the sunlit grass as a background and the dark photos were achieved using shaded evergreen trees as the background.
