Lots of interesting takes on this subject! Still pushing the flap around here... The hummers have returned and I'm delighted that they found the feeder in the same place today! Such cute, spunky little fellows! HAVEN'T BEEN QUICK ENOUGH TO CATCH THEM BUT WILL CONTINUE TO TRY! Oops, sorry for the caps lock!
This picture was my first hummingbird capture that started my bird fascination. My next attempts will be to shoot a faster shutter speed and stop the wing motion. This will be my summer project.

Beautiful first shot. A tip I was taught is to put a flower (even an artificial one, but red) in front of the feeder tip so that the birds look more like they are in the wild. I thought it a good tip and like using it so I am sharing it.

I'm seeing some really great enhancing blurs here everyone. All the zooms, flapping wings, breezy petals and blooms, and a pretty special ghost horse are making this challenge special and telling me I got to be more attentive to my enhancing blurs.
I have learned that silky water can't be captured on a bright sunny day in wide open space with no shade or ND filter.

You'll probably need to use a flash to really stop those wings.
