Coming to you from Stefano Ianiro Wildlife, this excellent video tutorial will give you eight helpful tips for taking better photos of hummingbirds. Hummingbirds are some of the most beloved out there, but they can be particularly tricky to photograph, as they are small and fast, and their wings beat so quickly that freezing them in motion is also a challenge.

They certainly present a challenge, but they are also such beautiful creatures that it can be especially awesome when you manage to get a great shot.
