Waiting for the hummers....
Lens: DA*200 + F1.7x AF Adapter and HD DA 1.4 Camera: K-3 Photo Location: My back yard ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/500s Aperture: F8

K-3 plus stacked F 1.7x AF adapter and HD DA 1.4 TC
1/400s, 400 ISO, ƒ8.

It is possible to be too close. Taking one adapter off, would have given me more DoF, and I probably should have gone to 1000 ISO for shutter speed, but all in all, I'm not unhappy with the results.

Wandering around by the feeders





Sitting on the porch waiting for hummers. There are lots of flower bloomingg along the porch rails. May as well get some images while waiting.







If you futz around long enough and take enough images of flowers, sooner or later the hummers turn up....

Looking good there Norm. I finally got one shot of a hummer sitting on the plant outside of the house. Usually I get them at the feeder. Today's was a rare shot.--Zapper

I see them in the morning at our Bee Balm, but it is darn hard to get a shot of them there.

A lovely series Norm. I think you have got most of the members covered with this collection. Birds in flight, birds not in flight, flowers AND a squirrel !!! Well taken.

Too much of the same thing makes for a boring day.... it's my Attention Deficit Disorder.
