So as I look through the shots i am wondering who the new talent is with the big glass. Oh....its Marc. Shoulda known. Beautiful shots, especially love the hover in natural light. I also appreciate that 3cm depth of focus you had to work with.

As always Marc - totally gorgeous Hummingbird shots. I love The Observer shot - unusual angle to perch at !

Wow, nice series.
I love the last pic, very nice details.
Love the hovering shot too if the shutter speed is faster will be better.

Thanks very much Bob. Every time I get some keepers, I still want to go back for more! It's never enough.

Lee, you're killing me - a backhanded compliment!

Thanks so much for looking & appreciating nature's beauty.

Many thanks - I'm always amazed at how photogenic the hummingbirds are. Couple that with the acrobatics and it's a wonderful way to pass some time watching them.

Marc

Thank you FF - I'm fortunate in that they can be creatures of habit when it comes to perching. Therefore I always try to ensure the opportunities with natural perching spots is available and place myself accordingly.

Thank you.

There are lots of ways to attract them, even to an apartment, just outside the window. That and patience in large quantities!

Regards,
Marc
