I may have accidentally gotten a photo of a hummingbird in the past, but now with a feeder on our back porch, I think I will make a better attempt for the first time.

I realize the feeder placement may need to change, and I may need strobes to make these fast birds pop.

So to take these photos, I had my Fujifilm X-E2 camera on a tripod, and I used the Android Fuji app to fire the camera.

I did this because as I stood there with the camera, the birds would come flying in and quickly see me behind the glass and take off. So either I build a blind, which I might do to hide from the birds, or I can use the remote and go and sit down and wait till I see the pop into view on my phone screen.

The only thing is there is a delay with the shutter.

 

Here are the screen grabs from the app:

 

 

 

REVIEW OF APP

 

The APP will disconnect you from your present Wi-Fi connection and look for the Fuji X-E2.

 

Once connected, you can touch the screen where you want the camera to focus as long as you are in AF mode. You can control all the functions of the camera that I could test.

 

Now that I have captured a few photos of the hummingbird, I will now try to get a better picture in the future and, hopefully, a few different breeds.
