Ruby was a very lawless place during its heydays and this jail building was built strong to hold its many outlaws.

This photo of a ruby-throated hummingbird won the "Best in Show" award at the 2013 Moraine Hills Annual Photo Contest. The value in entering these events, other than a fancy plaque on the wall or the small amount of notoriety you might receive, is having your work judged against other people who share the same passion. Receiving a “First Place” ribbon doesn't necessarily mean that your work is any better than anyone else’s because the judges’ opinions are often subjective, but it is gratifying to be recognized by a jury of your peers. It provides the inspiration and drive to continue shooting — a small reward for working so diligently to get that perfect shot.

Ruby-throated hummingbirds are precision flyers with the ability to fly at top speed and stop on a dime, hang motionless in midair, and adjust their position up, down, sideways, and backwards with pinpoint control. They dart between nectar sources with fast, straight flights and will often sit on small twigs keeping a lookout, waving their bill back and forth as they survey the area. Both male and female hummingbirds aggressively defend flowers and feeders, leading to spectacular chases, dogfights and occasional jabs with the beak. It’s really something to see.

I wound up developing my own techniques as the summer progressed through trial and error, but in the end I got the shot I wanted. I spent about 30-40 hours photographing hummingbirds in 2013, with the reward being a clean shot of a difficult to photograph bird. Totally worth it!

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, bladelike wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects.

During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/sec, 61x/sec when moving backwards, and at least 75x/sec when moving forward.

Ruby had surgery earlier this month for a hematoma on her ear. She had to wear an awful, plastic Elizabethan collar for a little over a week and was not very happy about it. Now that it's off, she has not stopped wagging her tail.

I was out yesterday, before the storm, trying push the limits of the 5Diii in low light. A cloudy day and in the shade. It seemed to lock focus on the target pretty quickly. I've also performed Micro Adjustments on the new camera and lens combos using Reikan Focal software. The EF 500mm is at -6 now. Seems to be pretty spot on.

Shot at f/8 1/500ths at 2000iso!!!! A salvageable image at 2000iso ! I adjusted luminance noise reduction in LR 4.2 to +20 and cropped the image pretty tightly. Maybe 50-60%.

The 7D can't produce anything decent over 800iso.

I'm fairly impressed with the 5D's capabilities.
