Seventy Five Times a Second
08~2009~IMG_0881 An immature female Ruby Throated Hummingbird. I have been trying to catch her at out feeder for a few days now, this evening I finally managed to get a few shots off at 1/2000 ISO 1600. A bit grainy but those wings beat at 75 times a second, so what do you want??? ;-) View it at a better resolution on Photography by Wolfman-K.

I want you to count them, just to be sure.

Nice job capturing it. I don't think I could have had the patience to even try.

The patience wasn't so bad, it was the contortion I had to get into under the table in my make shift blind... you should have heard my bones creak as I tried to get back up. ;-)

Is that what that noise was? I thought someone's house was falling down. Huh.

I have been trying to get a shot of a male but they are so quick.

Yeah they are... we seem to have two females that fight whenever they get to the feeder together. I havn't seen a male at all this year.

I am always impressed when someone gets a hummingbird picture - or any bird picture. Good work!
