NEED SOME TIPS

Wow, I have been thinking about doing some research on how to take pictures of hummingbirds in flight and I found this site. Great site!

I work at a resort that has a paradise atmosphere. I see a lot of hummingbirds around and it is a joy to take picture of them. One evening, armed with my camera, I spent almost one hour taking pictures of this bird. I had to get the bird in the right spot - lighting etc.

Then he did his thing, sucking the nectar from the flowers. I got a few shots but my camera did not focus well. Have to learn that technique. If you have any tips to share, please contact me.

Focus

If the hummingbird keeps coming to the same flower, set up the focus on the flower and shoot in continuous. Hope that helps!
