Lac Le Juene, BC, Canada - 1D4, 500mm, 1/2500, F4.5, ISO 800, hand held, manual exposure, natural light, medium crop
This image was made during the Flight School Goes Loony workshop in British Columbia this past June. Several species of hummingbirds were frequent visitors to the feeders outside the clubhouse of a nearby golf course. Our hosts at the golf course allowed us to reposition the feeders so that we could get good natural lighting and sweet bgs. It took the hummingbirds only a few seconds to adapt to feeding at the new location. They were so tame I could hold up the feeder in front of my face and watch them feed from only a few inches away. The male Calliope was my favorite of the bunch.
