Stop-action hummer
RUBY-THROATED HUMMINGBIRD, GREEN, MICHIGAN, JUNE 6, 2011
Pentax K-5
SMC Pentax-DA 55-300 at 260mm
1/2000 sec. f8
ISO 1600
Discovered among the summer's photo archives this morning, this is one of the few hummingbird shots in which I've been able to stop the wings and catch the subject away from the intrusive red plastic feeder used to attract the birds. It appears from the angle of its tailfeathers that the bird was flying backwards in mid-hover.
