      Your photos are absolutely stunning! hummingbirds move fast, and you captured them so well! I love all the pain elements, especially the painted flowers that overlap the photos.

      we have a heap of wildlife here that people travel across the world to see but i've never seen one of these in real life and they amaze me - i can't imagine the shutter speed necessary but you captured both their frenetic movement and peaceful nature and scrapped them perfectly! beautiful job (been staring at this way to long!)

      @bellbird We only have the Ruby-throated hummingbird here in NC. The brown one is a female. When they are younger, the males do not have a red throat. Yes, they are very fast. My shutter speed was 1/125. I wanted to go faster but it was late in the day and the photos were too dark. We were on my parent's back porch so I set there focused on the feeder, ready to click as soon as they showed up.

      'set there focused on the feeder' - clever! 1/125 seems to have worked well enough to give a nice bit of blur to the wings but the body is so in focus i would have thought u'd need it to be heaps faster! i'm guessing that is partly due to their ability to hold their body very still while flapping then? like i said, i'm really amazed, we have bigger, slower, clumsier birds here!
