With hummingbirds being a passion of mine, a few years ago I set forth on a project to photograph them doing their natural habits, with a black background to show the beautiful colors and acrobatics they possess. It took two seasons of work, and Tens of thousands of photos to get the results I wanted, with no post processing. What the camera sees and the eye doesn't is surprising.
