Broad-billed Hummingbird

I’m down in SE Arizona once again in Hummer Heaven, and it’s marvelous! While I love birding, just sitting and watching the comings and goings of the hummers, getting their story told visually is really my goal. If you listened to this weeks podcast<\/a>, you know I came down prepper and two main goals for my photography. The first, the lightening of my images was pretty simple, the second though, that photo still eludes me after four sessions.<\/p>\n

These flying jewels are just that, so bringing that to life is paramount. Meeting my first goal of brighter images was easy with the gear I’ve gone with for the week. The Z6<\/a> \/ 180-400VR<\/a> \/ SB-5000<\/a> permits me to meld the ambient light and two flashes (used to take these photos) seamlessly so you don’t see the flash. The second part of my goal though, now that’s been much more of a challenge. So far, I have only one click and both the birds are a blur. Yeah, these photos are OK but I want so much more than a bird hanging in the air or sipping at a flower. Will I get it? Only time will tell. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
