Female Hummingbird at the Nectar Feeder

Female Hummingbird at the Nectar Feeder

I actually took this photo with the macro lens (Nikon 105mm with Nikon D700 camera). I got the idea from Dennis Jones from Oklahoma who takes amazing hummingbird pictures. As Dennis suggested, I set up my camera with macro lens right next to the window where I have a feeder attached to the glass with a suction cup. With flash pointed straight up to avoid glare and reflection, I waited for the little wonders to land. I was afraid they wouldn’t come since I was so visible, but I suppose hunger and competitiveness outweighed fear, and come they did. This is one of those visitors, a female hummer who was only inches from me as I shot her photo from inside the house. I have to thank Dennis Jones for his idea of this unique, up close, and personal way to photograph hummingbirds. I’d also like to dedicate this image to my friend Jesika from the U.K. who told me she’s seen only one hummingbird in her life. Wish I could share the little flock with you, Jesika!
