Nice interesting catch, a hummer at 1/100sec.

Sure. Probably you are wondering how. Because the hummies are so fast, the challenge is to capture them flying with frozen wings such as the one here. A simple technique is to put your camera in burst mode, raise the ISO and shoot the hummies while they are hovering around a flower or feeder. 300mm, 1/2000s, ISO1600

You were able to freeze the wings in motion. I read that they can flap their wings up to 90 times per second. 1/2000 of a second is the magic number to freeze their wing movement. Well done Ariel. They are the only bird that can fly or hover backwards. Beautiful and amazing birds. Mabuhay.
