Eventually, I will put some content here that talks about hummingbirds
as creatures, and try to classify exactly what kind of hummingbird
these are. For now, however, let it suffice to say this: These are
really friggin' hard to shoot properly, and that goes double when you've
deliberately set a shallow depth of field. Did I mention they're fast?
They're fast.
I'm still playing around with the cropping and experimenting to see
what the best way to present these are. Comments are welcome.
Technical notes: These were all taken with an EOS 10D and an EF
100/2.0, in aperture priority mode; with the exception of the first
two (f/4.5), I was playing around at f/2.
