Keeping a Tiny Eye On You
This ruby-throated hummingbird paused for an instant stare down.
This image was taken in August of 2012 through the window to my back yard. That was back when I had a less capable camera (Sony SLT-A55V). I happened across some files from this shoot and decided to try and process one of the shots I had neglected back then.
I spent a good deal of time that year trying to capture hummingbirds up close. It was a daunting task – they are so small and move so fast – but I managed to get a few good shots. (Out of thousands of attempts.) Experimentation, patience and perseverance can pay off.
