ruby-throated hummingtbird 010.jpg

Who would've thought that a SLOW shutter speed would freeze the wings on this hummingbird so completely??? I didn't have time to set up "properly" for the hummingbird; I just shot it with whatever the camera was set to at the moment... and this is the result.

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/100s f/7.1 at 400.0mm iso1600 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Good pic. As you probably realize, it wasn't the shutter speed that froze the wings but the flash, in combination with low ambient light
