I got home and grabbed my camera and did my little "walk about" in the backyard. I do this almost every day to take pictures and just make sure everything is alright in the back (it's not big at all, so it doesn't take much time at all). I look at the garden and I see two hummingbirds (I think they were a mother and youngin') go rushing off. I curse myself for not looking up more quickly and move on. Check the garden, get some tomatoes, and walk back. I turn around to look at the garden again and see the two hummingbirds back. So I start shooting.
This is why I now love my new telephoto lens (Canon 70-200mm f/4L). I was approximately 30 feet away from the hummers. More will be coming as I get them processed. These were taken without a tripod, either and are either close to or are 100% crop. I know they're not the sharpest in the world, but I'm happy with them so far.
