    Violet-capped Woodnymph

    And a different look again, in front of a matching background (just the luck of the plants at a distance). The cap is losing feather detail - this has to do with the way the blue colour is created using iridescence, which just seems to confuse the camera. I've got some pictures where the blue...

    Quite a different look on this one - the feathers look almost scaly.

    Violet-capped Woodnymph

    These woodnymphs were the most common hummingbird on the property we were visiting, and with their sparkling blue and gree colour they're very nice to look at, so today I'll just stick to this species. They were pretty bold at this location, not hiding away like most of the other hummingbirds.

    Violet-capped Woodnymph

    By far the most conspicuous hummingbird on the property we were visiting, although Festive Coquettes were almost as numerous. Being larger these woodnymphs were happy to sit more in the open, however.

    Emerald in the dark

    Maybe the focus is not so sharp, but I liked the effect caused by the flash on the already iridescent feathers of the hummer, contrasting with the dark background. Hope you like it, too!

    As I don't have new photos of this dear one, I thought you would like to see this one, taken in last month at Itatiaia National Park.

    Violet-capped and grevilea

    This grevilea flower is certainly one of the favorite for almost all types of hummers I know here.. Although elusive, sometimes this hummingbird allows me to take shots from a relatively small distance ( 12-15 feet ). One interesting thing about this hummer is that it seems to beat it's wings...

    Well, again the Violet-capped woodnymph, now in action. I'd like to thank here to our friend Digishhoter for his advice about velocity, it helped me a lot in my hummer photos.

    Well, another photo of this one, a common but ( in my opinion ) very beautiful hummer.
