Man this hummer huntin' is tough. They sure are quick little buggers. I had to work these
over alot to get something decent. Just don't have the speed with the 828. I think this is the
first time the cameras been off of ISO64. Tried 100.

Very limited in mobility but at least I can sit by the feeders
and "watch" the hummers. They are amusing.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    walk. Gota use the camera somehow.headscratch.gif

    Must be all kinds of wildlife off your back patio you can shoot. Just gotta find a way to get
    the DW to haul your equipment out there.rolleyes1.gif

    Thanks Ben, almost have to pre-focus and wait for a flight shot. They don't stay very long in one place. Of course with nil DOF, finding a pre-focus level is like shooting craps.

    Thanks, it took me over a hundred shots to get just a few keepers. I've been well trained though, sitting motionless for hours in a tree bowhunting.

    Very nice Allen.....having posted a few myself....I can appreciate what you've got there.......I do like them. Last evening I hung out by my deck feeder and found that they would land even with me within a foot or so of the perches. It was amazing. I could feel the turbulence on my face from their wings. I wish I could post what I saw with my eyes. Makes me wish I had a camera in my head. I really think if I tried long enough they would land on my finger next to the feeder.
    Again....great shots.

    Very nice work Allen thumb.gifthumb.gif


    Given your equipment and physical limitations, they are fantastic clap.gifclap.gif

    Like you, I really enjoy watching the feeder and seeing these little guys perform. It's better than going to the movies....Laughing.gif
