Always a bonus to get a Hummingbird perched...extra points if you capture it with it's tongue extended.
Couple years ago at our summer place this one provided extra points for me...it wasn't until I reviewed the pics that I found, what I believe to be BONUS points. The tongue appeared to be hinged or broken.
I received a two different explanations as to what it was...but we won't get into that.
I really believe that I will never again see this...has anyone else in photo world captured anything similar ?

Rufous Hummingbird (Selasphorus rufus) on an acreage W of Duncan on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This was my first attempt at a flying hummingbird and I quickly realized that a shutter speed of 200 is not great. I guess you have to try once then learn from it.

Ruby Throated Hummingbird - Male.... I had to put out another feeder today because there is 2 males here now. I put one on the other side of the house so the bully couldn't see the other one.
We've had lots of hummingbirds at the feeder this past week so tonight I thought I'd sit a minute (that's about all you can do without getting eaten alive by misquotes!!) and try out my new telephoto lens - not bad I think for my first try catching these little buggers in flight - and without a tripod! They are soooo fast!! Love his little feet tucked up! The massive bokeh is from the light shining through the tree in the background. Really cool on black/fullscreen - check it out if you have a second!!
"Hummingbird Texture" by Patti Deters. This Ruby-throated Hummingbird (archilochus colubris) image was photographed in my own backyard in Minnesota. It kept trying to "eat" from from the frost-nipped leaf. I'm not sure what the attraction was - perhaps there was a small pool of water on the leaf that it was drinking. Several textures have been applied for artistic effect. If you like this image, please enjoy more at patti-deters.pixels.com/featured/hummingbird-texture-patt....

Time to fulfill my hummingbird addiction. I saw lots of little Anna's hummingbirds this weekend, but none of my shots were completely spectacular. This is from the archives, a male broad-billed hummingbird in the Hummingbird aviary, Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.
Obviously, not the best of lighting with him back lit, but bokeh's rather nice, I think. ;-)
This juvenile male Ruby throated hummingbird is starting to get some of his red throat feathers. The birds are becoming used to me sitting quite close to the feeder and are a treat to watch. We have about four that have been chasing each other away, as they aren’t great at sharing. They have tried to chase the goldfinches off, but have not been successful.
This is an image that I took back in April using a new (to me) lighting method that is outlined below.
I learned the lighting from a book by Linda Robbins called The Hummingbird Guide. Her method is to use a minimum 0f 5 to 6 strobes, a supplied background (which my wife painted), and photograph the birds in the shade so that you don't have to overpower the sunlight. When you use multiple strobes on a subject in the shade you can use lower power settings for each flash which results in shorter flash durations which means it freezes the wing blur. I used 6 Yongnuo strobes because I wanted to use identical manual power output for each flash . One strobe was pointed at the background, one was underneath the feeder, and the other 4 strobes surrounded the feeder. The strobes were all at under 1/16th power, in manual mode, and were triggered by a Yongnuo RF-603N., and you can see the EXIF info on the side. This method is the only way that I've been able to photograph one of these birds with little, or no, wing blur. Down below in the first comment, you can see a picture of the setup that I used.
I've taken quite a few pictures of hummers over the years and put them an album creatively called Hummingbirds.

Not a great shot - but great to see one of these little guys on the Buddleia at Stirling University today.
Finally got a shot that I'm happy with.
