It doesn't get much closer than this.
Posted By: charliezap, 08-12-2013, 02:16 PM

It's a great day when you can take only 9 pictures and have 4 decent keepers.Mrs. Hummingbird let me stand less than 2ft from the feeder and take several pictures with the flash.They were taken with the Pentax 18-250 lens at about 70-80mm f/l and cropped not that much..The vivitar flash was set to the lowest level. The pics were at 200 ISO at 1/80 sec around f/9. I have my bright red Red Sox shirt on and am going to stand by the feeder with a small red cup filled with nectar and see if she will approach.--charliezap

Lovely shots, Charlie. Very well done!
I get jealous when people have many many at their feeders.This year I have several and it seems to be the most active year I've seen in years.--charliezap
