Had another chance at humming birds this weekend.
I was experimenting with fill flash.

Awwwwwwww John they are amazing, I would dearly love to see one with my own two eyes, and to actually get a photo of one would really make my day I tell ya.......those little Hummingbirds have always amazed me.

Thanks for sharing........ Skippy (Australia)

Good Shots! Of the Humming bird. I like all except one. (something different, instead of my favorite, my least fave is number 4, though I am sure there is a reason you like it. Maybe because the bird is at rest?) Great set of HB shots, though. (how is the lens? hehe)

Great shots!
Did you hand hold or use a Mono/Tri-Pod?

Fantastic!

Hey John,


Those are some of the best hummer shots I've seen. :clap

I like them all, but I especially love all the greens in the bird in this one:

There's just something bothering me on the right side of the image. The image looks smeared there, although it's fine elsewhere.

I like the little feet. I adore the little feet.

Thanks folks for looking and commenting.
I hope to improve in the near future.The humming birds kept saying...longer lens.:D
To answer a coupe of question.
I was in aperture priority so the shutter speed varied and I was hand holding.

Beautiful pictures!
