Those of you who follow the Birds themed view probably remember the amazing Hummingbird photos by OldClicker. I asked him to write a Knowledge Base article about his setup and he kindly agreed.
![]() See below OldClicker's article. A great read, even if you don't plan to use that setup... Thanks, Terry!

Thanks from me too! I used to shoot hummingbirds a lot when I lived in California, but not any longer

Very nice, your setup would also be very good for insects in flight. You could move it into a field, near a bee hive or near to some suitable bait and get some unique results.

A very enjoyable read. Thank you for adding the information about the laser triggers! I didn't know such a thing was available. Now I know

A lot of great info there, and it's a setup with many elements I wouldn't have thought of. While hummers rarely come our way there's still a lot to learn from your approach, so thanks to OldClicker and to Henry for sharing it!
And a suggestion - perhaps some splashes of color in your backdrop may help, such as those you'd get from red or yellow flowers in some gardens. Edited by Maxxuman - 29 September 2013 at 16:42 |

I did accidently catch one insect; one that also likes nectar. ![]() Terry |

That's a very nice shot Terry! (or else I'm just easily impressed -- but I'm definitely impressed). |

Later,
Jerry. |
