Hummingbird in a Hurry
by Richard Fry (richard.fry) FIRST POTD!
Camera:
Canon EOS 40-D
Location:
Vancouver, British Columbia
 
Canada

Photographer Notes:
Came as surprise to me also. I did not see it as I was shooting. I took Scott Kelby's hint to shoot fast subjects in action mode, not raw. It works.

Incredible detail, Richard! They are always in such a hurry it only makes sense they would do this "on the fly" as well...! Congrats on your First POTD and welcome to PV.

An excellent catch. Belo time. It is not easy to photograph hummingbirds. We must be much, but a lot of patience. I love pictures of them. A hug, Carmem.
