I managed to catch this Bronzy Inca in flight as it approached a feeder in the rain. At ISO 640, the exposure was f/5.6 at 1/200 sec, with a lot of fill flash through a Flash Extender. The flash produced a frozen image, and the blur is the "ghosting" from the ambient exposure at 1/200 sec. Although not as dramatically colorfed as most hummingbirds, the soft brown hues still make this a beautiful hummingbird. More
