First Hummingbird shots... · 03:59 PM

First attempt at hummingbirds. This was 1 of 2 that were fighting over the feeder.

C&C welcome...

Beautiful image. Which lens do you use? JIM

GLThorne · 09-02-2009, 05:53 PM

Thanks Jim. Sigma 100-300 F4 handheld. They were so busy trying to keep each other from the feeder, I was about 10 feet away.

First attempt eh? These are very good images Greg, especially the second one. Thanks for posting them.

Very good! Thanks for posting.

GLThorne · 09-03-2009, 04:38 PM

Thanks Heinrich and 7.62lew.

Well, second attempt. Tried to sit with the tripod a week or so back and they would have nothing of me. I've been watering new plants on our back porch for the last week so maybe they have gotten use to me. I'll test that theory tomorrow!! Wish me luck.
