Lucifer Hummingbird photography

A gifted photographer, Lee Hoy, posted this wonderful photo of a juvenile male Lucifer Hummingbird.

In 2013 I accidentally shot a photo in a similar style with my Canon. No idea how. Mine, of course, isn't nearly as aesthetically pleasing as Lee's for many reasons.


These days I only use my little Lumix on "auto," so not likely I'll ever learn the technique, but it's my idea of perfection. Reminds me somewhat of David Sibley's fantastically successful illustrations that he used in his bird guide, but better. Sure wish a bird guide would come out using Lee's type of photography.
