A Hummingbird...

A Hummingbird... · 10:23 PM

I finally got my Tamron AF SP 70-200mm back from being serviced and today I had it in my inlaw's garden chasing my boy and stalking hummingbirds. I really needed my big lens there, so these are pretty heavy crops - came out nice though for what they are.

ISO 640 | 1/1600 | f/5.6

Josh,

Nice set of pictures, I especialy like the fully extended wings.

I went back today with the my tamron 400mm with the 1.7x TC on it, and got a few more decent shots...

ISO 640 | 1/250 | f/11 (equivelent)

ISO 640 | 1/40 | f/11 (equivelent)

Very nice shots. I like the first in the 1st post. The last is also a great shot.

Great shots all around Josh.

I have a feeder out but have yet to see hummer #1 this year.

Great shots! Hummingbirds are very hard to nail down here...

Great shots, I really like the first of the 400mm shots with that red splash in the bokeh, the front part of it is a bit busy tho, maybe a crop to remove some of that. but very nice shots

excellent series

Crop or not those are beautiful captured birds Josh - well done.

The good thing is that after they're nailed down, they're so much easier to keep up with

. These flowers are the next best thing to a hummingbird feeder... it's hardly playing fair - guaranteed birds

Thanks Andreas - I agree about the foreground of that shot, I may have another look at the crop there, but I too love that background bokeh.
