Normally I don't take many (or post) hummer images of them on a feeder, but the image clarity and wing feather details really caught my eye on this shot.
It's an uncropped shot, taken from approx. 12 feet away. Image is approx. 33% of the actual size:
Link to the larger image (worth a look!): http://www.marclangille.com/photos/924531776_nhe7G-X3.jpg
Pentax K10D
Shutter speed: 1/250 sec.
Aperture: F/7.1
Focal length: 600mm
ISO 320
AV mode
Metering: center weighted
Support system:
Gitzo 3541XLS CF tripod
Wimberley WH-200 gimbal head
Wimberley P50 lens plate
I hope you enjoy the image!
Cheers,
Marc
UPDATE:
I've been notified of interest in a total buy out of the image from the VP of Marketing at Daisy Outdoor Products, the manufacturer of the feeder. First Nature Outdoor Products is the brand name of the feeder sold by Daisy (the same BB gun manufacturer) and they want exclusive rights to this image - a total buy out.
I've let them know that I'll offer exclusive reproduction rights (not the copyright - it's mine) for the North American market. So long as they have exclusive use of the image, that satisfies them and their current distribution to US and Canada. There is already an inquiry on the cost to add the Central and South American markets to those reproduction rights. Negotiations are in progress...
Cheers,
Marc |

Oh. Despite Shaw's intention, we are getting serious.
In that case I bow to your vastly superior knowledge.
The floor is all yours.
Aloha,

I never said it was.
The term for "out of focus" is "pinboke(h)" (ピンボケ)....which is a contracted was of saying ピント合わせがボケている (pintoawase is the term for "focus" and the rest, including the "boke(h)" part means.....blurry, bleary, smeared, fuzzy)
In English it does.
In Japanese the "pleasant" qualifier is not inherent, nor is the term specific to photography. English has borrowed the term and narrowed its definition and usage (a process I often see in reverse with words borrowed from English into Japanese).
It can be said of people who are displaying senility that they are "bokete iru". And the term "jisaboke" (jisa meaning "time difference") is the Japanese term for the phenomenon known as "jet lag" in English. And that confused feeling you may have in the morning immediately upon rising from your bed and stumbling around with your body awake and your brain half-asleep still is called "neboke" ("ne" meaning "sleep).
So it isn't as though the Japanese had some special photography-specific term that described the phenomenon.....it was just that when the word got borrowed into English it had the advantage of nobody knowing its original, wider usage. So that old "The XXXXXese have a word for it......" stuff went to work again.

Julie, it's an idea I got from grzehoofr, a fellow member on this forum. This is the idea:
This is Iris with the idea:
(Sorry Iris, have been looking for an opportunity to post this one, but couldn't imagine I would come almost immediately :D)
And here you find a 'How To' for the idea....
