Hummingbirds (mosaic)

A mosaic of this evening's catch of a nice Rubythroat who visited my feeder 7 times in all today.

 

Made at my hummingbird observatory at dusk, after the bird had returned twice this morning. Eventually, this same bird visited my feeder 7 different times today.

 

Pentax istDS DSLR with Soligor 70-220mm lens set at about 180mm, so the EFL is about 270mm. ISO 1600 and F22, using a Vivitar 293 autoflash 4 ft from the bird about 30 degrees to camera left, and a ringlight just below the camera lens to trigger the 283.

 

1. Ruby-4468-a, 2. Ruby-4453-c, 3. Ruby-4457-a, 4. Ruby-4455-a
