My new 20D gets a Hummer. :-)

[rockyc2]

Thought I would share these two shots I shot yesterday. I used my new 200 f/2.8L II Lens that I got last month on my NEW 20D. I also had on a Tamron 1.4x TC, plus my 550EX Flash.:D :D

I sure love the way this 20D can nail focus on such a small target.:D

That second shot is great Rocky, well done.

How small are these hummers? I know they vary in size but by how much

[dancinec]

Great captures.. Especially the second one. looks like the ants are invading the hummingbird feeder.

[Suedezu]

Excellent focusing! What shutter speed did you use? I'm curious in order to estimate the wing flap/second number. :D

Haha! Dennis, I cleaned the feeders out right after I shot these two. Put in fresh Sugar Water, too.:) Glad you liked the shots.:D

I was using my 550EX Flash, so the shutter speed was 1/250s. Glad you liked them.:D

Three to five inches long. A lot of them are about four inches long.

No 2 is best.
I believe you are happy with the 200,the only thing i find is that some times you are too close or too far,thats the reason i bought the sigma 100-300 f4 as well.

Holy Hummer Rocky! those are fantastic. Best I've seen in a long time. Good job.

[scott stokes]

nice shots 2is awsome,great capture.

I like the second shot the best. I like the first also. I have a question about the first. Was the bird sitting ther with his wings down when you took the picture? I just can't seem to get one of these guys with my flash. They seem to always jump the flash and end up blurred. Yours looks good.
