Hummingbirds: The Lost Collection

Hummingbird
Hummingbird Frozen in Flight - August, 2008

Over the the last few years, I’ve thrown together many different temporary web galleries of my images. Some have been for client review, some have just been for personal use. Due to a lack of an organized web presence in the earlier years, I’ve scattered these temporary galleries around on the web, like those little helicopter thingies that fly from the maple trees every year. Many times, I just plain forget where I’ve uploaded them.

Such is the case with this collection of Hummingbird images I took at a Metroparks photo workshop, back in summer of 2008. These were shot from a supplied blind near several feeders. Some shots incorporated off-camera flashes (Nikon SB-600s) to help try to freeze the motion of these elusive creatures. All of these images were shot with a Nikon D200 and a Nikkor 300mm f/4 lens with a 1.4X tele-converter.
