    Holy cow!!!

    This is one of the only hummer shots, I've ever seen, where the wings look totally motionless. Really good job Jeff thumb.gifthumb.gif He's a little UE. Next time you might want to add +2/3 to +1 1/3 of EV Compensation. It might have resulted in blown out flower highlights, but the hummer would have been exposed better.

    Still, as I wrote above, a very good job indeed clap.gif

    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!"
