Not another hummer

garnerfoto · 21st of August 2008 (Thu)

I finally managed a couple decent shots of one of our visitors.

We've set up the feeder and a couple chairs and with a lot of patience they are getting used to us being there. The 100-400 must still scare them somewhat as they will usually take off if I bring it up to shoot. The 75-300 my wife is using doesn't bother them much.

That is just freakin' awesome! Nice shots!

marvelous shots!! beautifully crisp on the eyes. Was there much of a crop on these or were you able to get them to fill the frame like this.

I also like the background!!

Thanks for the great comments. There is some crop on these, but really just to remove the feeder and maintain a 2:3 ratio. Here is an original.
