Hummingbird close ups (and BIF)...

luisv

Hi there, I shot this sequence on Sunday.
All pictures are from a single Anna's hummingbird.
The bird was extremely accommodating and let me get very close (3-4 meters) before it took off.

Thank you!
They are also one of my favorite subjects. I find this year I'm having more luck with the hummers than in the previously. I hope to be able to get better shots in the future.
