Cabrillo National Monument. The light had gone and the wind was well up by the time I found this Anna’s Hummingbird perched up nicely between the lighthouse and the observation deck at the edge of the bluff so these are not great images, but with exposure compensation cranked up to plus 2 EV and some work in Lightroom, the gorget really pops.
I have some video too which I will add when I am on a faster internet connection.
Canon SD4000IS behind the 15-45x Vario eyepiece on the ZEISS DiaScope 65FL spotting scope for the equivalent field of view of about a 3000mm lens, 1/640th down to 1/200th @ ISO 125, f8.5 effective. Programmed auto.
Processed for intensity, clarity and sharpness in Lightroom. Added exposure and fill light.
Fantastic captures!!!
