Capturing Hummingbirds in Flight
When we first moved in to our cabin in 2014, Mary and I were struck by the presence of the ruby-throated hummingbirds in our yard and their inherent beauty. Mary immediately began developing a homemade nectar to supplement the hummingbirds' diet. We have a plethora of natural flowers on which the hummers feed, as well. I spent time photographing them from a distance and realized, after a few seasons, that I needed to get closer to the birds in order photograph them better. I developed a methodology for acclimating the hummers to my presence which allowed me to live among them and photograph them more closely. I've developed a tutorial, which will help you to become closer to these wonderful birds and hopefully capture your own great hummingbird photos.
