Flaps down, reverse thrust, and prepare to ......... have lunch!

One in a series of "hummingbird loves daisies" photos.

They move so fast that it's hard to even find them, let alone focus.
I want to give Nikon credit for their autofocus with the (old) Coolpix. I aimed, clicked and hoped for the best, and mostly got it. Enjoy!

2. That's a great catch, my dear usonian!

The motion is emphasized by the blurred wings.

Quite dramatic!

And I did enjoy.

5. It takes really fast sutter speed to stop the wing motion.

I can't do it with my "slow" zoom lens.
And yes, the blur works nicely!

or some network or filtering problem.

7. A Winning Composition

And a truly amazing capture
Focused on the hummingbirds body
While letting her wings work their magic
Yet capturing the flowers in amazing detail
