I was in the right place at the right time with a good camera. Still, there's a certain amount of luck involved when you figure in the speed of hummingbird wings. I got off about 10-12 shots, and only one caught the wings at full extension. If I had pushed the button a few milliseconds earlier or later, no picture. However, many thanks for your kind words. Very much appreciated. Mike __________________ Nature is perfect. Man's attempts to improve nature, Are imperfect. MP@BBB Studio There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way Gautama Buddha

Most cameras would probably just have the wings as a blur.
