05 Humming Around

Roie Galitz, Israel

I was visiting Vancouver Island, just west of the Canadian mainland, when I came across the wonderful Butchart Gardens north of Victoria. Among all the flowers I found many hummingbirds flying around. I got down low to shoot this particular bird, slowing my slower shutter speed to get some motion blur in the wings and using the flowers for framing, while capturing a wonderful bokeh in the background.
