I tried for more hummingbird photos later in the day, this time with fill flash. The adult male Black-chinned is still elusive (he's a GORGEOUS bird in the feather) so the photos are still all immature/female plumage. Here's one of the fill flash attempts: http://wildlightphoto.com/birds/trochilidae/bchumm02.html It seems that in hovering flight the hummingbird can keep its head perfectly still (it's very sharp in the full-sized photo) but everything else is vibrating at about 50-60 Hz and if there's enough ambient light it shows :( Doug Herr Birdman of Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com
