I brought my camera with a 70-300mm tele-lens with me on the deck as I knew there were Hummingbirds coming to feed on the nectar of the Trumpet flowers. And I was not disappointed when I saw them flying in, moving ever so slowly to grab the camera and trying to follow them on their erratic flightpath. Having switched off the Optical Steady Shot function that helped me keep the focus on the fast moving birds.

Great capture!!!!! I will have to try that with my camera and lens, just to see the results! The switching off of the steady shot function.
