Anna's Hummingbird 7

Black Canyon City, Arizona

At the end of the set I pushed my film speed, shot wide open at 2.8 and put the flash unit on high speed "FP" mode for this image. With that 1/5000th of a second shutter speed, the difference shows up in the amount of wing blur in the other images, compared to the nearly stopped wing motion in this shot. I'm not sure yet how I Like it best.

Nikon D200 ,Nikkor 300mm f/2.8D ED-IF II AF-S
1/5000s f/2.8 at 300.0mm iso640 full exif

Incredible image capture of this living jewels. We have a pair that I see occasionally but haven't captured them on film. One once hovered about three feet infront of me and I heard its chirping sound--no camera close by. Voted for this beautiful image.
