Under the Tree of Life

Following up on last Friday's post, "To Shoot a Hummingbird...", I did try to add a little flash to my own hummingbird photography, but was limited to the on-camera flash as I don't yet own any speedlighting.  As you might guess, the on-camera flash was nowhere near fast enough to stop the motion of those unbelievable wings, but it certainly did help the rest of the image from under the shade of the "tree of life" as we've come to call it.
