We saw our first hummingbird of the season today. It was flitting and buzzing around my Iris and the honeysucke is getting ready to bloom. Just beautiful photos !

How in the world did you get a shot like that with the way they fly so fast?

How in the world did you get a shot like that with the way they fly so fast? Fast shutter speed, and a flash. The flash freezes the motion. I'm still trying to get it so that I can see wing detail, but that requires a more powerful light or flash.

OMG! Those are such awesome pics! Is it ok if I print them to show to my Mom. She LOVES hummingbirds and collects them. If it is ok let me know. I don't wanna steal something. lol. Mom has had ruby throats for about 2 wks now. Her sister just up the road was a wk later than her. But she has them now.

Fantastic photos. I just got our hummingbird feeder up yesterday so should be seeing some soon. Last year I had 3 HB feeders up and we had a lot of traffic.

We just put up our first Hummingbird feeder Friday evening. Within ten minutes we had three birds feeding. Here are a couple of our first attempts at shooting hummingbird photos.

Nice second image, Axeman! The feather detail is very nice. Hey, you have the same feeder as me!
