When we first moved into the new house we noticed a little hummingbird occasionally coming by to sample the flowers in the front flower bed. Jason promptly made his tasty vanilla flavored hummingbird food and now we’re up to six hummingbirds all fighting for the feeder, all day, every day. Earlier this week I was out on the front porch and decided to see if I could get some decent photos of them. Being hand held they didn’t turn out too bad, though next time I want to tripod the camera and use off camera flash, rather than the speedlight in the hotshoe.
These photos were taken with a Nikon D80; 18 – 200mm VR Nikon lens; SB600 speedlight on the camera hotshoe.
