I am not proud of this image, but I have been trying for ages to get a photo
of a hummingbird moth and this is it! They just don't stop moving. I tried
with the 4500 and it was not good either....but at least I captured the little guy!

Nikon Coolpix 4500
1/57s f/3.5 at 16.2mm iso100 full exif

Great effort, Petesie. Your garden must be alive right now !!

Success! I've seen these and never even tried to capture one because they're so blamed fast!

That is a tough shot--marvelous effort.

You did well enough as they are so hard to capture. You managed to get the proboscos (spelled wrong, I am sure) quite clearly.

I think you did a great job as I can't even get one this clear!

This is really interesting Petesie, I had no idea that such a moth existed...glad you captured it!
