Capturing a hummer in flight is best attempted near a feeding point of interest, just as the little fella hovers. Pre-focusing(guessing) is sometimes the only way to get the bird sharp enough for a usable image. This evening I had a great thunderstorm cloud for my background.

Hasn't voted | Thanks so much for your expressions of appreciation for the image. I took quite a few just to get one in focus, hoping the sunset light on the wonderful thunderhead would stick around. regards slowbutsteady | | Posted Sep 19, 2008 10:14 pm |

Voted 10/10 | I wondered the same thing -- it's ranked pretty high on the "last three days" page so I guess site traffic (or voters) are just low right now for some reason.
What a great shot! | | Posted Sep 22, 2008 3:00 pm |
