One of my favorites. It took about a year before I could make sense of what the hummingbirds were doing. And I suppose it took them a year to be completely fearless when I was around. It finally happened. If there’s something you think you can do, you probably can.
@Jgbird Beautiful photos! Jerome, your hummingbird shots are by far the best I've ever see! I'm always stunned when I see them in my feed. May I ask about your setup? Do you use a fill light or reflector at all?
@elaterite Thank you for saying that, Bob! My setup is pretty simple—the D500 with the 200-500 lens. I don’t use anything for flash or refraction; just natural light. I’d like to know how to do that stuff but haven’t learnt it yet.
@Jgbird Having only successfully photographed a Red Kite (think dot in the sky) a chicken and a racing pigeon who landed on my garden fence despite efforts to creep about and snap others, I'm dripping envy and admiration here...
