Description
Humming Birds are magnificent little birdsThey drink the nectar of the flowers, and they sure are sweet
This week is the Jewish New Year, and we say a greeting "May your new year be sweet as honey", so I thought there's no photo more suitable for this greeting than the hummingbird drinking its sweet nectar.
So I wish you a Happy New Year, sweeter than Honey
May all your wishes come true and dream fulfilled
"Shana Tova"
Best regards,
Roie Galitz

Absolutely beautiful! It's amazing. I can even see the little feathers on its underside! And the saying is beautiful too. That reminds me of the 'land of milk and honey' promise.
I love taking pictures of hummers. I'm looking for a good camera that would capture them without hurting my pocketbook. I think I'll get the Canon A590IS--it has everything I want and I can afford it.
Again, wonderful picture!

Hi
First I'd like to say this an incredible shot, you have captured this bird so perfectly. I cannot imagine how hard it is to take a photo of a hummingbird.
I was just wondering, what lens were you using? I don't know of a lens with a 420mm focal length...
Keep up the awesome work!

Hi there,
thanks, It's not that easy, but when you understand the technique it's okay.
just keep the shutter speed over 1/2000 and you're alright.
the lens is Sigma 120-300 F/2.8 with X1.4 teleconverter = 420mm F/4
thanks,
Roie Galitz
