Hummer with my K10D from over a year ago!

Hummer with my K10D from over a year ago! · 04:12 PM

I never had the chance to edit all the photos I had taken and now I've been spending an hour a day editing old photos and here is one I missed from an old batch....

I think it was a mistake passing it up

Taken with K10D and 50-135 at f6.3 1/500 and flash used.

OMG thats Amazing..

That is an absolute gorgeous Photo Chris, thanks for digging it up.

Hand held?? Beautiful shot. Sharp... JIMBO

Really good shot Chris, thanks for posting it.

**Sailor** · 12-04-2008, 05:40 PM

Chris, I just don't understand how you can pull this kind of thing off! What a wonderful photo.

That is a great shot Chris! Looks kinda familiar to someone's else's hummer shots on this forum... now who was it?

Seriously, it's a beautiful capture - did you have to crop much? Usually these (almost pea-sized) acrobats don't come in too close.

Regards,
Marc

Excellent capture Chris

I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I like him better than the birds you usually shoot.

I think God had fun making those little guys!

Realy fine shot Chris. I was looking at DA* 50-135 yesterday and was impressed. I'm even more impressed after seeing this image.

With that focal length, I cannot believe you could get that close to the bird like that. Amazing shot.

lithos · 12-04-2008, 09:53 PM

Oh god, I love hummingbirds!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

The little bee hummingbirds are only four hours from starvation at most, even if they've just eaten.

And I'm very glad this isn't a photo of a crap, pseudo-militaristic SUV.
