Shooting hummingbirds as I usually do with a twist. This time a couple females decided they were not going to share their sugar water with a persistent wasp. Sorry they are not real sharp but catching the bug in the frame with a 600mm lens is quite difficult. Plus with no notice this is what I would be shooting I feel lucky I got anything at all.
All shots with a EOS 1D Mk IV and Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens. All were at 600mm, f8, SS 1/5000 and ISO 800. All hand held. Who says you can't hand hold the S lens? Lens correction and cropped in Lightroom 6.
Ya gotta eat even in the rain. It makes photos that much more difficult.
EOS 1D Mk IV with Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Sports Lens @ 600mm. f6.3, SS 1/200, ISO 1600.
1/200 SS is too slow to photograph fast moving subjects like hummingbirds. That is why you see the rain drops as streaks and less than sharp birds. That streak is how far a rain drop falls in 1/200 of a second!
Tough shot, just wanted to share a couple my hummingbirds.
