Picture Perfect Hummingbird

As most any experienced photographer will tell you, the background of a good photograph is just as important as the subject itself. That’s why when setting up a Wingscapes BirdCam, it’s a good idea to step back and consider what will be seen in the picture behind that prize-winning image of one of your feeder-visiting birds.

Glenna from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada recently uploaded to the Wingscapes BirdCam Photo Gallery a superb example of effective BirdCam positioning. By aligning the BirdCam, feeder, and a beautifully blooming flower basket, she was able to record this Rubythroated Hummingbird with both an attractive and appropriate background.
