In my yard near Lititz Pennsylvania on September 9 2012........I shot these late in the day just before sunset. The flower is 15 feet from the ground (on my deck) and the background is a tree line in the shade 250 feet behind the Hummer. As the light fell on the Hummer and flower it caused the background to under expose and blur.
See it large to see the tongue!
This male ruby-throated hummingbird was enjoying nectar in the front yard. I decided high-speed would work best, and it sure looked sharp. After getting it on the screen, I said, "Hey, look! That hummingbird is sticking out its tongue!", And sure enough--must be some tasty nectar.
Through glass. ISO1600. 1/2000s.
A young Annas Hummingbird. There are a few of these around so they must have just left the nest. He was curious and was quite close. You should view large to see detail.
Este palito, un poco mas grueso, lo puse en la ventana de la sala. Los palitos los coloque para reemplazar la veranera que se cayo. En mayor tamaño se puede apreciar mejor.
I thought this was a Rufous juvenile but someone suggested maybe a Calliope, which I disagree. Any ideas? This was taken 5-24-16 in Port Angeles, Washington state, USA. At my living room window. :-)
Two remote triggered flashes to left and one to the right, all firing on minimum power to limit duration of flash. Card behind hummingbird also illuminated by flash. Feeder just to the left of image. Taken in a garden in the foot hills of the Ecuadorian Andes in the Tandyapa valley at Alambi.
f16, 1/250 sec., ISO 200, 300 mm equiv., two bare off camera flashes on either side fired with Cactus radio triggers which help to freeze the wings. Camera on tripod about 10 feet away triggered with a radio remote from inside the house. I removed one of the two catch lights in the eye as I thought it looked odd to have two.

Seen in the early morning at the Audubon Center, Santa Fe, NM. Wonderful place for checking out the hummingbirds (broad-tailed and black-chinned) and songbirds (black-headed grosbeak, finches and warblers).

I was desperate to get a hummingbird in flight shot in Costa Rica and it took me a lot of goes to get one I was happy with. They are fast I mean so super fast. You get some time when they hover but then they are nearly always covered or obstructed by something. So I was happy with this one taken leaning out of a restaurant window during breakfast at Monteverde.

This little guy is getting new feathers. He's also guarding his territory. There are only 5 or 6 hummers around right now. Some stay through the winter. As soon as another would fly into the front yard, he chased them off. They made me flinch a couple of times. Thought they were going to run into me. Posted a couple more of him following this one.
