Picture Of The Week 07-31-06

Ruby-throated Hummingbird (Juvenile)

Where: Goode • Bedford County, VA

Equipment: Canon EOS D20 with 100-400mm Zoom L Series Lens with Image Stabilizer • Manfrotto Tripod • Remote Shutter Release and Extension Cable

Exposure: Shutter Speed = 1/1250 • Aperture = f 8 • Exposure Mode = Aperture Priority • Lens (Focal) Length = 300 mm • ISO = 1600 • Aprox. Camera Distance = ~6 Feet • Date Shot: 07-19-06

Notes: I thought I was shooting one of the female Hummingbirds that usually rules my feeder area. So it was a pleasant surprise to find this young male in the group of pictures I shot that day. I rarely have a male "Hummer" at my feeder, adult or otherwise. The speckles on his throat indicate his gender.
