D70, nikkor 50mm, 1/400th, f/10, ISO200, NEF, hand held, on camera flash master-synched with remote nikon SB800 facing bird's flight path, below it... the sun helped do the rest
this is one of many Anna's humming bird shots i have taken over the past year...i was about 2 feet away as the hummers around here came in to feed on canna's growing around my pond....he was directly over the water, below me, and the sun being high enough to cast "sparkles" in the water of my pond and the polarizer kept their brightness within reason...the wings are not perfectly "frozen" in this shot; however, i feel the slight blur helped this shot to give it motion, as well as compliment the "dream" like feel of the shot...the trick with hummer shots is NOT shutter speed, as Greg can attest to....it's all about the light...where it hits, how strong it is, and what angles it fires from...thanks for viewing! |
