This is my favorite of your recent hummer pics. Love the orange flower and the stop action.
Thanks Mike. This flower really provides a beautiful setting for Hummingbird shots. I’ve got shots of him in all different wing positions on this flower. I always like a slight wing motion blur in my hummingbird shots. I’m usually shooting from 1/1250 – 1/3200. All of my Hummingbird shots are from the Chicago Botanic Garden.
