    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!"

    Great stuff! A hummer is on my wish list. We actually had one visiting last summer, so fingers crossed..

    Nice shots! I've only seen this bird maybe twice in my life, and certainly never managed to stop the wingbeats like you have.


    Very nice set

    That shrub looks right up his alley, I imagine he will become a regular customer! Nice shots. That is also a beautiful shrub, do you know what it is called?

    I believe it is a "Baja Fairy Duster".

    Mostly aperture priority at f/5.6 (to give me better working dof on a 85mm 1.4) which worked out to 1/500 sec on a very sunny mid morning. I was fortunate enough for him to hang around long enough to experiment for a few shots although as humming birds do he was darting about constantly.
