I spent 6 weeks trying to come up with the best way to take images of our resident Anna's male hummingbird without using flash. The reason no flash is that to my eyes, flash as a primary light source renders most hummingbird photos very flat. Sadly, my friend here was molting during this photo session, and you can see some wing feathers missing. The same feathers were also gone on his other wing at this time.
Using lots of reflectors and even more patience, I got a number of keepers. This was my favorite of that exercise. I plan to do it again next year with better gear. At least I have a good starting place this time. Canon 10D, 400mm f/5.6L, f/10 (for DOF!!), 1/1000, ISO 800, 56mm of extension tubes, tripod with ball head = Ed = = Ed Rotberg =
