Lovely shot, how often do they have to leave the nest to feed? About the only way I might ever catch a shot of one, I spent half an hour getting wing tips, tails and empty space where once there was a humming bird!
Cheers, Graham.

I got lucky on this one. I'm working on a demolition project that has a Biological Monitor. The monitor found the nest and they cordoned off the area until the two chicks leave the nest. The bird seemed to be there most of the time but it did fly off for food once. Despite heavy machinery coming close to the nest, it doesn't seem to mind. Happy hunting!

One with flash other without. Sequential shots from 1dx at about 25 M and 1/1600 iso 2000 f4.5 EF 300 ii with 1.4ex. Same exposure used for each only difference is better beamer set on HSS. No post processing other than cropping applied.
