It's hummingbird time again

It's hummingbird time again · 05:17 PM

Well, Mike motivated me to dig through my last shoot and some previous ones to see what I could come up with! My apologies Mike, it was simply motivating me to get off my duff and find some more hummer images. I keep finding stuff... there are too many images on my external drives...

#1 and #3 were taken at F/6.3, 1/100 sec., ISO 640, EV -0.3 in heavily overcast skies at 420mm.

The others were at F/6.7, 1/500 sec., ISO 200...

Now for some feeder images - I rarely show these since I prefer in flight or perched shots:

Crop (close to 100%) for detail:

I think the K10D can still do quite nicely! I hope you enjoy them...

Regards,
Marc

As usual, Marc, beautiful shots.

That portrait shows a lot of personality - almost like a smile.

Cheers.

IMPRESSIVE!

Really wonder how you manage them

You trained those little ones

They sure cooperate with you

Amazing skills

Looks like a normal Marc shot! Are we bringing feeders with us? JIM

Words can't express how much I'm looking forward to attending one of your workshops in the future, Marc. I'm sure there are a tonne of images on your hard drives, but keep in mind that the more you post, the more you inspire a lot of people to aspire to the next level.

Please keep them coming.

Sssshhhh... I cannot divulge my secrets.

Thank you for looking and commenting! They are quite used to me moving around the feeders so they are even better when I am behind the camera...

MRRiley · 07-24-2009, 05:29 PM

Marc... Excellent as usual.

My mom has that same feeder I think.

Wow absolutely wonderful shots!

I did try some hummingbirds with the DA*300 at F4, ISO800 and 1/125 but most came out unsharp shakey looking, guess I need to use a tripod or faster speed next time around.

Wow. Great stuff Marc. I've got the same feeder but nothing to show for it.
