Hummer Obsessed
Ho hum, another hummingbird at the feeder picture. I'm afraid I'm a bit obsessed with trying to get "the" picture of the hummer. Summer is almost over and soon the feeders will have to be taken away. I bought a new beautiful glass feeder, but the hummingbirds won't go near it.
I like the sharpness of this one and I think the pictures are improving...
I really love this shot (but it's still not the one). I really like the curve of her back; almost like a swan dive.

I used the 70-300 mm lens and was shooting at 270mm, f/5.6 and ISO was 320. Shutter speed was 1/1,250 sec; and that still didn't freeze the wings!

Fantastic. Soon you will be the expert and Pete the aprendise ihihihihihihih.
Love the photo's
Thanks! Actually, these might be as good as I get. I did some research online and to freeze the wings you need to shoot with a flash (or better yet, with three flashes). In the end, a bit of blur on the wings is probably what makes a hummingbird look like a hummingbird!

Awesome photo's, we also tried a glass feeder and my hummingbirds preferred the plastic one I bought at Walmart. Aren't the little darlings amazing, I just love to watch them.
