Or do you have some magic chant you do to get that close. Here's the setup.  The Setup by power slave, on FlickrI do even closer sometimes but the tripod needs to be placed in a different way, which changes the background of the shot. Life would definitely be easier with a magic chant though .. or a 300mm+ L. This is only my second attempt using flash. I'm using very very low power, 1/64th, using the built-in diffuser that zooms to 14mm and only during daytime. They don't even flinch. If anyone knows if using flash is not a good thing, please tell me! I must also mention, I'm wearing a bright blue t-shirt, and every time I go near the feeder, their frequency of visit seems to increase! I've observed this over multiple days with different colored clothes. Black seems to scare them away. flickr photostream

I noticed a flatness in my photos of red flowers and asked about it here. The same unwanted uniformity in red areas often turns up in other people's flower images in Landscapes and in flowers in hummingbird photos. When the subject is a hummingbird, is blown-out red in a flower considered a flaw? PRONOUN ADVISORY: OhLook is a she. | Comments welcome

The same unwanted uniformity in red areas often turns up in other people's flower images in Landscapes and in flowers in hummingbird photos. When the subject is a hummingbird, is blown-out red in a flower considered a flaw? The lack of red sensitivity in most DSLR sensors plays a role in the loss of detail in red areas. If the detail in the red channel is deficient those areas will appear "blown-out". This shortfall is why many DSLR astrophotographers hack their cameras, removing or replacing the factory filter to increase reception of red data. Emission nebulas for example are very high in red data so a modified(hacked) DSLR will increase the red channel info. Steve

The wisteria brought them in, then they went to some large bush in my yard when red flowers started blooming on it. They also like the eucalyptus trees, that I have around the house. powerslave wrote in post #16034069 Here are two more form this morning. I absolutely love the morning light.
