Hummer in Motion
This little guy has become a backyard regular. Stops by, gets his fill of my special blend of water and sugar, hangs around for a little while, then heads off to parts unknown. I was actually hoping on getting pictures of finches, but when opportunity knocks, I answer the door. This was taken with my Nikon D200, Nikon 600mm VR, using f/9, 1/250 sec, ISO 400, and a 1.4 tele-converter. I didn't have to use a flash as the sun was shining directly into the bird's face. Metering was done in spot mode and I focused on the eye. These guys love to dive in and take a sip, then pull back into the same spot, making it easy to predict where they might hover.
