The wind was blowing. My EOS-M was having trouble tracking and most shots I took came out of focus. I was chasing the Hummingbird and the Hummingbird was chasing the Honey Suckle blossom. I wasn't sure the picture would turn out good but it did. This is my lucky shot for the day with a slow camera which is not really meant for this type of shooting.

WCKSer, I think you did a great job on a hard subject as they can be very hard to capture. I have them all over my yard and they frequently buzz my head when it's time to refill the feeders. Quite the characters they are.

G'day mate
It might be a slow camera but the photo is a keeper - well done Phil

Thanks for the comment! I had missed a lot of good opportunity in getting good shots that day if not for the EOS-M. This picture really made my day.

I am getting better at it and I am glad that I can come away with a shot like this. Thanks, Phil!

Fantastic shot. Sometimes skill, opportunity, and tenacity trump perfect equipment. And defeating the evil wind to get the shot should make it that much sweeter!
