Nature’s Beauty Hummingbird Baby & Mother

I am extremely lucky to have experienced something first hand, something that most people only see in photographs. It is an indescribable feeling, one that I will never forget.

Ruby Throated Hummingbird

“Lunch on the Fly”

I snapped this one of a beautiful male Ruby-Throated Hummingbird at my front yard feeder. The feeder is located right outside of my picture window. I setup my camera on my tripod and tripped the shutter with a remote release at he flew to and from the feeder. This pic was taken with a Canon EOS7D with L-Series 300mm f/2.8 IS lens in manual mode @ 1/500 f/8.0 ISO200.
