Description

Canon 20D w/Sigma 70-200 ISO 400, F4.0, Shutter 1/60, Focal Length 200mm Had a few humming birds buzzing around at my moms house so I took advantage of the moment. I was surprised that the shot came out as clear as it did at 1/60. Everyone was saying their wings move so fast you have ot use a fast shutter speed to cathc them. Guess they were wrong or I just got lucky. Thanks for your views and comments.

Amazing. Perfect capture. As fast as their wings move, it's hard to believe you were shooting 1/60 without wing motion blur.

Shutter 1/60??? That thing has got have been hovering or something, lol. Question: When you shoot these birds do you have to have your camera set to "macro"? LOL....hmm...which leads me to another question....are they considered birds...or insects? I mean they really are tiny arent they. #:oP Wonderful and impressive capture!!! Have a great day. #:O)

outstanding shot. (the wings look as if it may have been about to turn, which might need them to beat a little slower than usual ?)
