Ruby Throat no so Ruby [Contest Finalists July 2007]
Uploaded: July 30, 2007 06:21:25
This relaxed and Fluffed up male Ruby throat doesn't show his colors, but I still thought this shot worked. Both hummingbird shots have a slight crop. I waited for the morning light to light them up but still had to use fill flash. I tried many shots without fill flash but couldn't get natural light to work on it's own. Nikon 300mm F2.8 manual lens, 36, 20, 12mm stacked extension tubes, Tripod w remote SR, Iso 100, Fill flash at lowest setting, WB Cloudy
Exif: Exposure Bias Value: +0, Exposure Time: 1/200, Flash: flash fired, ISO: 100, White Balance: manual white balance, Camera Model: NIKON D200
