Helpful Posts: While on a recent trip to the USA, I found photographing these little dudes a real challenge. I took many photos before I got any that were half decent. I know this is a bit "grainy" but it is the best I could do at the time.

Re: Hummingbird
Better than any of my own efforts. Lovely BG. I'm saving the little rascals for future subject matter. Because I know it will become obsessive trying to get them

Re: Hummingbird
Love hummingbird shots Martin and this is a ripper. I don't suppose there's ever enough light to get the sort of shutter speed needed for one of these gus so ISO has to go up.
Would you mind if I had a go at smoothing out the grain?
