I had to wait patiently and very still to get this hummingbird close enough for a decently sharp shot. I I think the first one is the best, the other two were edited quickly to show a sequence of events for fun.
I used a ridiculous 1/4000 of a second shutter speed to freeze the motion of the wings, again best demonstrated in the first photo. Well I thought that shutter speed was ridiculous until I read this article (http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2009/05/worlds-fastest-camera-shutter-speed-half-a-billionth-of-a-second/) which reports a shutter speed of a half billionth of a second achieved by lasers.
