High-octane

Beautiful humming birds are everywhere! Very shy and feisty but incomparably gorgeous! It is spring time in San Diego! Loving every bit of it!

 

Shooting humming birds in the wild is anyways a bit of a challenge but an exciting and immensely rewarding one! You get to see what these little things do while acrobating in mid-air. Sometimes I just love watching them so much; I forget to click! Mostly, its hours of waiting time for a few seconds of high-octane thrill!

 

Gear: Nikkor 80-400mm AF-S on Nikon D810, I usually set the camera to shutter priority with 1/4000 to 5000 depending on the light.

 

Again thanks for you likes and comments, I highly appreciate it!
