This is my second time hand holding and photographing humming birds without flash. Flash would make things so much prettier, but this was ad lib as I went through the gardens finding each hummers territory. Fierce fighting going on. I had no plans for real photos at all.

Fast shutter speeds, but not so fast that the wings are completely sharp. Generally around f5.6-8, Iso cranked up way high Wait for bird
