Here are some shots of the anna's hummingbird that have been regularly visiting my backyard the last few days.

This is the first time I used a flash for a hummingbird shot.Not good mainly because I don't have the right setup and the number of flashes. I have to get those remote triggers, stands and additional 1 more flash. I used the pop-up flash and 1 Sigma 610.

#2 is a standout for me Jo. If you start down the path to the flash Jo forever will it control your destiny.:):)

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Those are beauties, Jo. As said, the flowers complete the shot. Someday, I hope I'll be able to do that.

Nice to see you here Levina! :)

Ted, I am not against using flash, but not a fan of it. But maybe because I don't have the right gears and setup yet. Never say never, my motto :)
