Excellent group of photos. What camera and lens were you using?
Thank you! I'm a Nikon guy Tikva. I used a D500 with the nikon 200-500 lens. I recently bought the lens as an upgrade to a Tamron 150-600 v1 I was using. I was concerned that I wouldn't see an improvement but this combination really raised the bar on my overall photo quality. The hummer happened to be in excellent lighting from the back and side which caused that deep ruby color to flash that bright iridescent hue when it moved around. I shot it at 500mm, around 12 feet away. My camera settings could have been better. It was iso1000 1/1600 f/5.6. A little more dof would have been helpful, maybe f/8 and bump down the shutter speed to 1/1250 to make up for the light loss.
