Female Anna’s Hummingbird

This photo was taken with Canon Rebel XT, 100-400mm f4.5-5.6L IS USM, Speedlite 580EX II Flash, with the Gary Fong Origami Diffuser. Taken at my parent’s house in Tacoma, Washington.

I really like this photo, however I wish I used shutter priority instead of aperature. While the movement of the bird looks interesting, there is just too much of it in my opinion. The bird would sit still until the flash went off. The sucker is so fast that I was unable to get any shots of the bird without movment when using a flash.
