Wracking my brain trying to figure out a location to plant a bee balm next year. Backyard is all shade and front gives lousy bg!  Thanks Rog. I'm usually in manual mode, playing with the shutter speed. I have the best luck when the ISO is set to auto. I agree, the challenges of where to plant things is crazy. I planted this next to a maple tree, so it has nice light in the morning, but totally shaded by the tree in the afternoon. My secret weapon for getting the plant to grow so huge after I just planted it last summer...it marks one of my cats graves! I'm sure Chance would agree!

At least you got awesome shots while you could! *Sandy* "If we all had positive attitudes...we could change the world"

LVMoose Moose gets blamed for everything.  More info Post edited over 8 years ago by LV Moose. | Aug 04, 2015 11:52 | #9 Beauties! I tried that when the hummers were moving in and out of the shadows; selecting my desired SS and aperture and letting the camera set the ISO. Unfortunately, my 5DIII (and 40D), tend to under-expose. Too bad exposure comp isn't available in this situation. Moose

Thanks Peter! maverick75 wrote in post #17656101 One of mt friends started this challenge, but he's trying to do it with a Polaroid not even a fancy one just a SX70. He might just strike it rich with that camera. Let us know how he makes out. St Bernard wrote in post #17656128 Those birds are so cool and fun to watch. Great pictures Thank you! They are amazing little birds! I like to watch them at night too. They usually just sit and preen. CDMOOSE wrote in post #17656165 Good ones, Sandy; I have yet to get a decent shot of one this season. Thanks Al. I bet you have lots of great shots this year, they may not seem decent to you!

Unfortunately, my 5DIII (and 40D), tend to under-expose. Too bad exposure comp isn't available in this situation. I do enjoy the challenge of shooting hummers close up. Thank you Moose. I prefer to set my own ISO, but with these guys, I kept messing it up. So I had to put my faith in the camera to get me some decent shots! 2cruise wrote in post #17656204 From my deck and first decent shot of my wife's birds.
