"Patience"
Judy Royal Glenn Photography
One of the keys to wildlife photography is patience. When I find a hummingbird's perch, I know he/she will come back time after time. It seems like when I am waiting they may be visiting every flower before they come back because it takes so long. In reality, I know they are also perching on another favorite perch.
Sometimes I only have to wait a few minutes, but more than likely it is 15-30 minutes or longer. It is a focused time of being still, quiet, and focusing on the perch while waiting.
The wait is worth the result! I think this is my favorite hummingbird shot to date.
