Of all the different types of subjects I shoot, I find Hummingbirds the most difficult. These frames were captured at 20 frames per second, 1/2000th of a second each. All in less than 1/4 sec. 1/4 second after the last photo shown, the bird had completely exited the area. Speedy little things!

I am a pilot but have never flown a Texan. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to ride in an SNJ with the Geico Skytypers do to a bit of air-to-air photography. Lots of fun but very windy back there with the canopy open!
