Good morning Hive family and all the photographers lovers around the world, what I got here for you all today are some more shots of the hummingbirds, once again I'd like to highlight one of my favorite hummingbirds, the Rufous Hummingbird. I just cant get over this color of this guy, not to mention the tail is just something else. So different that the others with the pointed feathers on the tail, versus the others are squared tipped. Now what I have here today is the last four shots of this Rufous hummingbird, its the hard one to capture out of them all, it comes in quick and leaves even quicker, so I am glad that I was able to get a few shots to make two posts but this will be the last one on this guy here. Well at least for now, unless I ever make it back over to my friends house to shoot again but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Lets get into these shot that I have here today, the cover shot, the first one above is probably my favorite one out of all that I have posted between the two posts. I think I highlight this Rufous from head to tail with some very nice detail and to me this is one I will end up printing for sure. You know I have to, I think its good to print some of your work, so it gives you inspiration to get them shots again, and hopefully better and better ones. For me though this one is epic, I cant stop staring at the tail, the highlights on that is so dang nice. We got to move on or I will keep talking about this one, haha. In the next shot below, not as detailed but I really like the wings and how you can see most of the eye, as the wings are perfectly identical too. Crazy how the sun put some crazy dark purple color in the wings too, here on this shot.
Here with this third shot, another nice one and I like how small the wings look on this one, great detail in the head, not so much on the tail but you cant win them all, regardless another cool shot here for you all today.
In this last shot here, I wasn't going to do anything with it but since I edited it, loved the angle but since I majorly cropped this one, the detail isn't very good but I wish I got this shot to perfection. The angle of this Rufous flying is the exact epic picture I need but maybe another day I will get it, who knows, its really hard to capture the hummingbirds in this action. I really do hope I can get a shot like this in the future but like the cover shot, quality detail and the tail exactly like this would be epic. I'll keep trying and keep trying to bring epic shots for you all to view. Thank you all for stopping by today, have a blessed one, appreciate you all.
Anyways appreciate everyone feedback hope you have enjoyed my shots and post today' thanks for stopping by, Have a blessed one and thank you for coming in and checking out my shot's of the day. Stay tuned and enjoy my future shots in the world of photography, thru my lens.
