All images were taken on the morning of July 23, 2016 in my backyard using a Canon 1000D and Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4.0-5.6 IS STM Telephoto Zoom Lens and UV filter. This is my first time to photograph a hummingbird and it was quite a chore. I believe I took nearly 400+ photos and these are the best ones.
Several had to be cropped because you would have had a hard time finding the hummingbird otherwise. Of the cropped images some have had their contrast, tone or color adjusted. Instead of showing all of the images I chose, I will simply link to the gallery if you'd like to see more. I will include my Top 10 here.
Crop of the image below.
This is my favorite.

Hope you enjoy the images! I'm really enjoying spending a few hours each day taking pictures. I'll try not to spam them too much. It's still new to me, so bear with me as I get addicted to this new drug. =)
