I have taken more pictures of hummingbirds visiting my feeder on the deck. I undestand hummingbird is the only kind of bird that can fly backward and I got two of them to share. The last three sequential images show the take off scene of a hummer – luckily the head was relatively sharp and clear with very fuzzy wings that could be flapping up to 200 beats per second.





Your photos are wonderful, Stephen. I especially like the ones with the open beak.
Thank you Lynette. Happy you enjoyed the images, It was a rare opportuny to capture these pictures.

Thank you so much – very much appreciated your comments from professional like you! By the way, I shot these pictures using Olympus E-m1II with 70-300mm (140-600 mm) lens.
Incredible!
Thank you! It was lots of fun photographing these beautiful creatures
