CANON R7
CANON 100-500RF @ 343 mm
F6.3 @ 1/640
ISO 1000
Natural light

The Hummingbirds usually come to feed when it is starting to become dark, but somewhat challenging lighting conditions for photographs. ( An f 2.8 lens would be best for this time- 400mm or 300mm).  The plant is a Bee Balm, and the image was taken last Summer, when they are here for their breeding season.

Just the right light for my tastes in this beautiful nightfall scene, Paul! Different - and I really like it a lot!

Great framing. I like slower shutter speed hummers, I think you could select the bird and subtly brighten in (0.1-0.2) for even better impact.
