I visited my friends Rod and Susan at their farm, near Courtenay, on the 12th. Susan has kept me well informed about all of the Hummingbird activity on their property and I was eager to try my hand at it again, given the success I think I had in early March. 

Recommendations? 

• Shoot from a tripod if you can, it’s not really a show stopper if you can’t.
• Use shutter priority and CH / burst mode.
• Keep the ISO as low as possible, if you have good light.
• Compose for a green, brown or grey background.
• Shoot at 2.8 or more and at 1/6400th of a second or 1/8000th of a second, exposure and shadows can be adjusted later in Lightroom.
