Thanks Dave

Fill the frame for image quality, these guys are tiny, 500mm at minimum focus distance

I focused on the flower 1st and then moved off it to get the hummer.....no time to find and focus on the hummer, they are very fast

Min ss of 1/2000 which may mean you need a camera that can handle very high ISO , ISO was 4k for this shot
