Hummingbird

2010-07-20 : photo

Niki noticed that there was an abundance of hummingbirds at the resort in Pembroke where Bill had his wedding. She spent a lot of time being patient and getting some amazing shots.

I think the lesson I learned from this is that there’s probably a lot of photography that comes from stealing somebody else’s idea. In this case, I cheated by using a camera with better resolution (despite its depressingly bad AF) and shot in afternoon light from an elevated position on a bench, and got lucky after about 400 exposures.
