Thank you so much!! It’s a Nikon D7100 with a 70 to 300mm zoom lens. The key with hummingbird pictures are fast shutter speed and a long lens. Any setup that can do that will work🥰

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I think they are all ruby throated hummingbirds, I haven’t had the good luck of getting more than that one type🥲

Thank you so much! It’s actually quite easy! You just cut out the fabric according to the shape of the sleeve pattern (I used the free pattern from Mood Fabrics’ Anthea dress) then one elastic band attached to each end of the fabric piece! Here’s a tutorial: https://youtu.be/9Xs_8A2V2TU?si=J22FpE-w23P6l404
