Realised that my Sony 707 was better at taking the hummingbird due to the flash sync speed... this shot was at 1/800s with flash.  On my D100, the max speed I can get with flash is 1/160, which doesn't allow me to totally freeze the bird.. The advantage I have though is that I can do multiple bursts with flash on the D100... previously on the Sony 707, I can only manage to take 1 shot each time the hummingbird comes to the feeder.. |
