Stunning capture Amy. I have enough trouble capturing one much less getting one to pose for me.
Amy Porter replied:
Thanks very much, Norman! I'd love to tell you that my hummingbird shots are all composed as the shutter releases, but truth be told, these little birds seem to be getring faster every day. I feel lucky when I get one in focus! :-)
