Hummingbird Rising

[Desmond Chan]

Ok, it was simply hovering.

This time, it also turned left and then right for me before it flew away. Since it was so cooperating, I took full advantage of it. All I need is to put in front of the bird a sign with a serial number on it to turn them into photos of some other usage :)

Again, Fuji S5, 105 mm f2.8 macro @ f3; ISO 400 1/4000 sec., shutter priority mode; hand-held; manual focus mode; no flash.

C&C welcome !!

Really cool photo Desmond! It's hard to pull off a photo like this at f/3. You simply need more DOF. The gorget looks great but the eyes are soft, as is the breast. I would go for less shutter speed and a smaller aperture. Thanks for posting!
