HUMMINGBIRDS STARE AT EACH OTHER | PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY

Hummingbirds stare at each other while one tries to drink from the Perky-Pet Grand Master feeder in fast shutter speed photo.

LEARN:

This EPIC hummingbird photo requires a very fast shutter speed to stop the motion of the wings. However, a very fast shutter speed means the shutter is not open for long, so to let in enough light, the aperture needs to be low and have a large opening. Hence the background has a lot of bokeh. You may also need to step up the ISO speed based on the capabilities of your lens. In addition, capturing this photo requires advanced skills. The key is rather than chase your subject, focus your camera manually and wait for your subject to come to you.
