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.

A very strong 1st POTD Congrats! I love the action of the photo and that its not blurry. I am looking forward to trying to shoot fast subjects in action mode, not raw. Also so very funny that the shot you got that is so good and its pooping lol... I love it!!!

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.
