Allen's Hummingbird

[Tim Foltz]

1DMKIII • 500mm • 1/1250 • f/5.6 • ISO 400 • HH • Manual

One of the few varieties of humming birds in my area.
I intentionally shoot at a bit slower SS for a bit of wing blur to show movement, if not they look like they're hanging from a string IMO.


Thanks for looking.

The hummer is beautiful and I always like a bit of wing motion as well. The details on the throat are superb.
Love all the colors.
I am not sure about the wall of flowers on the left. a bit overwhelming for my taste..

The Pride of Madeira flowers set off this wonderful humming bird shot nicely. Great light on the feather detail

The color palette in this image is really pleasing, Tim. I am taking note about the shutter speed for this bird.

looks pretty good Tim, hard to make a good hummer shot without the usual flash technique but you proved it's possible

well done
