About the Image(s)

This Hummingbird was photographed in our honeysuckle vines in our front
garden. I used the Canon R5 paired with the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS
II @ 400mm, 1/6400 sec., f/5.6, ISO 3200 in Aperture priority. Using
"Evaluative" metering, I should have added a little exposure compensation
based on the brighter background. I shot at the higher ISO just to see if I
could tell the difference at the extra high shutter speeds. I've shot as low
as 1/1000 sec. The big difference is when the wings are at intermediate
positions other than full aft or full forward when starting their reversal.
At 20 fps in electronic shutter, I was not getting any appreciable rolling
shutter. I did use a tripod. Processed in Lightroom Classic, Topaz Photo AI
and Topaz Studio II.
