Here is another close up of the Ruby Throated Hummingbird. Had the shutter speed set at 5,000 for this one.

Gregg you are so very lucky to have these gorgeous little hummers around. Great colour & clarity, it's a big WOW. I have some hummers but they aren't here yet and my little camera can't get that sharpness like yours.

Gregg, This picture is beautiful. Did you capture this with a EF 70-200 f/4. How did you get so close? Congratulations! This one is one of my favorites.

Wow 1/5000 of a second you must have to raise the ISO a lot to get enough light through the lens !! I've enjoyed all the small birds you've uploaded recently Gregg, & I'm pleased your beloved Hummers have returned too. Seems you could perhaps afford some clever hi speed flash guns .. it could revolutionise your specialist Hummer gallery m8t. :o)

I really like the background and the hummingbird together in this one Gregg. Great action shot. Wonderful lighting.

What kind of a camera do you have again? My XTi can only go to 1/4000th of a second.

That's it...there's the difference between you and me!! LMAO !!

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"

I faved the last one like this, but I think this one has the slight edge on the last, so this one is being fav'd too. Well done, and thank you for sharing!
