This is my contribution to Scott’s Assignment 20: Motion. I was fortunate to spot a hummingbird this evening in my garden. As I was waiting for him to return, I spotted this yellow birth perching on my Maximilian sunflower.
Then he flew away. I was hoping that he would and was able to capture him in motion.
I waited for about 10 minutes, the hummingbird did return.
He perched on my hummingbird feeder.
He drank a few times.
He must have heard my camera’s shutter.
Then he flew away. The subject in this last image is kind of blurry, and it would have appeared that the hummingbird feeder is the main subject according to the rule of thirds, but I like the overall composition and I think it’s my favorite motion image that I took today. The deadline for the assignment is July 25th, I hope you will participate in this assignment.
All photos were taken with Canon T2i and EF70-200mm f/4L USM lens.

Fun photos. Love the 4th and 5th photos. Cheers.
Thanks Bespoke Traveler for your visit and comment.
I love hummingbirds. So neat that you capture them in motion.
cn, this is my second time seeing it in my backyard, they are so pretty to look at.
Wonderful shots!!
Thanks Barbara. 🙂
Love these shots, Nye! Do you know what type of hummingbird that is? I have only seen the ruby-throated around here. That last shot is cool – almost ghostly looking.
Thanks Karma, I think this is a female Calliope Hummingbird. I never thought to look up the name until you asked and was surprised to see that there are so many species, and here is a list of Hummingbird Species by State.
I like the last image too. Looks like a flying ghost. Thanks for participating, Nye!
Thanks Scott, I’m glad I saw the hummingbird in time for the assignment. 🙂
[…] wings of birds is the subject of Nye’s contribution. She photographed a Goldfinch and a hummingbird flying away into a sea of greenish bokehed […]
Wonderful pictures. The hummingbird images are amazing.
Thanks rocket2722. 🙂
