Aug14_Hummer #1

Finally learning more and more each day about capturing these
little guys with my Canon 300D and the 70-200mm f4L and using the
fill flash. A big learning curve !

I have found that manual focus is the only way I can get these guys.
Auto focus is way to slow.

Great capture!

By virtue of their size and quickness, not many people can capture a humming bird unless its hovering or perched(no matter the camera).
