    Hummers!

    These are not great shots but it is time to setup and make the good ones. Wanted to get Casey stirred up a little bit.

    Look at the red throat, spinning feeders produce ghosts!

    Not bad, Bill. How'd you set up for them?

      I stood behind a Gardenia bush about 10 ft away. Skeeters were eating me alive. I'm ready to set the camera up on a tripod and shoot with a remote from inside the house. Feeder is on the edge of the front porch so I can do that. They have just started coming in thick.

              I have many shots that look like your stick photo!

              I set up about 4 feet from them on my tripod. I just hang out behind it until they land and then hammer them. An external flash does wonders.

              I do like taking hummer photos! Well done, keep 'em coming!

                Those are cool pictures! I took some a few weeks ago of a hummingbird visiting a feeder on my front porch, but I didn't have the shutter speed set quick enough to stop his wings. I too was not using a tripod and just trying to sit really still. The pictures are located a few posts down on my hunting journal at http://www.robshuntingjournal.blogspot.com/.

                      Very Nice! I've tried to take humming bird pics and was not very successful. Those suckers are fast.

                          I've set up a feeder on the front porch and in the last week have had a lot more activity. It's gotten to where now there is a bird on the feeder just about anytime I go out to look. I need to get a remote to try to get a few pics one of these days. Mine are still a little skittish though. Wish I could spend some more time out there so they would get used to me being closer.

                            They will calm down and allow you to stand there with them. I have pics of me 2 feet from the feeder with a bird flying between me and the feeder. It's amazing what they will tolerate. I can get them to land on my finger if I stick it by the feeder. This is usually when there are a lot of them battling for the nectar.
