That’s a photo contest winner some day! Beautiful bird, light, and shadow.

And we are getting that high summer afternoon light

These are astonishing photos. Brilliant work!

beauty of that little being.

Amazing shots!

Middle of May through the middle of September

Unfortunately, none of the photos was visible to me, it's asking me to upgrade to premium and I can't click on them as they don't seem to be links.
I love hummingbirds so I would love to see these photos.
Have a glorious day!

Seems to be something with that particular photo hosting website that for some of us our particular browsers don't like.

I came across a site last week that makes image uploading and embedding really easy:
https://imgbb.com/

You don’t have to create an account nor download an app. After you upload an image you can right click on it and use the share option to open it in your browser and that gives you a link you can embed. Easy as pie.

Seemed almost too good to be true, but it totally works. Way easier than imgur, Flickr, photobucket etc.

... you've garnered enough WOWs, so I'll just ask:

what shutter speed enables such clarity of wing detail of a creature that can beat its wings as much as 500 times a second?

Oh, and magnificent photography!

And thank you.

... We are graced with a great many Ruby-Throated hummers every year. We're located at 710 ft. above sea level, but surrounded by mountains of considerably higher elevation, which is where hummers nest and sleep in a sort of suspended animation, because the night air is warmer there, and their metabolism is so high that starve to death before dawn.
But I'll bet you knew all that.

Postimage gives a very limited number of views to the public and then they shut it off.

Postimage is not very good. Try Imgur.
