Creating Your Own Pictures Of Hummingbirds

Pictures of hummingbirds can be found online, in books and magazines. You can also take your own images of hummingbirds, if you have a digital camera. You can use a small digital camera with a zoom and a flash, or more preferably a DSLR camera with a zoom, flash and a tripod.

If you see hummingbirds in your area, you can attract them to your yard with a hummingbird birdfeeder. Once you notice the birds feeding from your birdfeeder, you can arrange your camera and equipment to take pictures of hummingbirds in flight.

When you are setting up your camera, it would be ideal to use a DSLR camera with an attached flash, in order to get the quality image. You can keep your distance by using a zoom lens, and hide behind a tree or a small bush, so that the hummingbird is not frightened by your presence. Once you can see the hummingbird in the viewfinder, test your flash to ensure there is enough flash to cover the area.

You can then place these images on your website, for the world to see. You may even compare your images with images taken by other photographers. The secret to your success is to take the time, to set up your equipment and then patience with taking better pictures of hummingbirds.
