White light produces more vivid spectral colors. Remember the prism in science class. The whiter the light going through a more dense medium and change the speed of light through refraction and thus creating the beautiful display of color.

I believe that what most are saying has some truth to it. I shoot hummingbirds in Costa Rica. You need to understand your subject. Hummies fly up and down forwards and backwards and upside down. Very important to know this. It means that it is difficult to full frame the entire image in one shot. Cropping is almost always necessary. The 150-600 is way too big unless you are far away plus its a slow lens to I would say dont waste your time. 24-70 is faster but not enough reach so you will have to get real close and that would effect the flight of the Hummie. 70=200 is probably your best option. Shooting Hummies is different than any other bird you will shoot. In my opinion probably the most difficult. I always say that you lose points when the feeder is in the picture. I try to never include the feeder in the photo. If you get good shots than I can assure you that you are no less than an intermediate photographer. You will improve in many ways when you take on these little guys. Have fun and enjoy shooting first. Take the 70-200 2.8, its the best tele zoom they have in my opinion.
Hood man's are good and smart. Don't ask. Use it and it will always be with you in the sun
Good article. I believe all you said but not necessarily in the order. First we must know what makes a good photograph. Ie. light, exposure, composition, etc. That is the primary goal. Next, what tools do I use to accomplish the goal and how to use the tools. Ie camera and accessories. Now take what you learned and put it into practice. Learn the rules and now break the rules. See how it affects the end results. Practice, practice, practice, shoot at all opportunities you can find. The most important and thing is love what you do and love what you shoot.
Tripod nd filter small aperture bulb setting and do some math on a 10 stop as you blew out the sky
70-200 2.8g vr next is 24-70 2.8
70-200 2.8g vr next is 24-70 2.8
Before I would do anything about settings I would recommend you read up on exactly what Fill light is. Next I would seek a definition of what subject light and ambient light is. Are you aware that fill light is actually taking two exposures with one shot and making these two create a harmony or a contrast when it comes to subject and ambient lighting. If you know this than seek your settings and if you dont know this then that is where you need to start in your research. Knowing this first will help answer your questions in a better way.
I believe you approached it wrong. It was an exposure problem. Smaller aperture is better f 11 or f14. Bulb setting, low iso 100. Remote. Tripod. Try again. Camera
was reading the sky not the moon. Think about it. Shoot manual in focus and exposure
Sounds like ev setting was +3 or +4. Way too high. Drop it to 0 or -1.
Best balance control for ambient and subject light is fill flash
Just push up iso. When using the 50, which I own, it doesn't allow you to get large groups in tight places. I did purchase a 20mm 1.8 and found this can resolve some of your problem. Each lens has its own niche. This 50 you bought is sweet. The other question is are you using ft or crop sensor? If crop than your fov is 75mm. You are very specific and so must your lens be
