Today's Tip:
Don't forget about your flash when shooting outside. Provided your subject is in range, a flash can eliminate harsh shadows and lighten those dark areas.

Beautiful shot. I love when the bummers stretch and preen. Getting a lot out of your photography tips, so thanks!
Dang autocorrect! That should be hummers, not bummers. :)
Cute little hummer. Thanks for the tip.

Love this angle...great shot!
At first all that I could view was a tiny black X. I clicked on it...it made the image large on a blank white background and then I clicked again, and there it was right on your page. Hummers, such acrobats...lovely Brian~
such great sharpness on that beak - yours, not his. :)
laughing at gail's bummers. :)
They do constantly turn their little heads, always alert. Great shot.
What a brilliant picture. From Findlay
YIKES! How did he do that?!
Wow...great timing. You were there at the right time in the right place!!
You were in a great position to catch this picture. I rarely can get under my hummers ... they are gone before I even start thinking about it. I do use my flash (if a remember) to dispel the shadows. It really works ... good tip :)

My neck hurts looking at the twisted hummingbird. Great capture, Brian!
I use flash a lot with the hummers to help stop the action too. I love the perspective of this shot Brian! Nice!
Amo pássaros ..linda foto! abraço
Awesome shot!
What a COOL Shot Brian!!!
You are right about the flash. Although early morning can have nice soft light, the shadows get pretty intense later in the day. I should add that I fell on my camera and broke the flash right off at the foot, as well as the the ball joint of the fluid head. Only a skinned knee and no camera damage. Now waiting for Canon to repair and return my Speedlight!
awesome image....and the rockin' title!!
For this type of shot do you use the automatic on camera flash or a speedflash??? I've used the on camera one for portraits...getting rid of shadows...works well!
Nice shot! And thanks for the tip about using the flash outside - I never seem to remember that, or else it won't go off!
Cute photo of a cute bird. I lived for almost 6 months in North America but sadly it was the wrong time of year to see a Hummer - all the more reason to go back! :)
Awesome photo! I love the perspective. Thanks for the tip about the flash.
I love those moments captured forever as an image, we don't see them as it happens so fast.... Great tip too Brian.
