Still haven’t managed to photograph the hummingbird, but I did capture this Hummingbird Clearwing Moth as it was leaving one of the butterfly bushes!
"The Great Escape" (Hummingbird Clearwing Moth, Hemaris thysbe, and Buddleia davidii, "Nanho Petite Indigo", aka Butterfly Bush) Nikon D300, 550mm (200-400m w/1.4x teleconverter), F/5.6, 1/320s, -0.3EV, ISO 640
Just like hummingbirds, these suckers are fast! Today was good practice for me for when the hummer does show up as I will need to use a much higher shutter speed to capture the hummer clearly.
All in all, a very cool shot…just wish it was sharper. Next time, I will be ready! 🙂
