Ruby Throated Hummingbirds
Posted By: slowpez, 09-02-2012, 10:40 AM

I've been practicing taking shots of the hummingbirds as they come to our feeder. They found out about my new lens and decided they wanted to have their photos taken. It is the first we have seen of them all year so it is funny that it happened after the 300 arrived. I will not fess up to how many shots I took to get these five; I will just leave it to you to guess.

Great work! Nice lighting and the green background makes them pop out nicely.

not bad for a first try-out!! nr. 1 and 4 are nice (they are sharp)
i found out that it is a lens you have to learn to use, after that................................................
I am still hoping I get something just half as nice as your bird shots. Thanks for the nice comment. Means a lot coming from you.

Lots of trees and shrubs in our backyard that provided the background. I appreciate your having a look and commenting.
