Nice pics Jun, the hummingbirds are back in action here. I read that they are not buzzing in Queen E, Deer Lake and South Fraser park. It's just the weather is not cooperating. Hopefully we'll get some sun this week and maybe I'll have some better pics

Thanks J, my bro in law spends bags & bags of sugar every spring for his feeders. He has his own system of boiling the sugar/water ratio and all. I always kid him about it. Tell me about it. I once sat on top of a stepladder waiting for them to hover in front of me.

I don't really care much about EXIF unless I want to mimic the effects as long as you got the shot right...that's all that matters to me Lolo Jun hehe

Nice...I don't think I have ever seen a humming bird. wait its a hummingbird right?

yeah I think it's called Anna's Hummingbird.

I only mentioned the EXIF because all the settings are wrong. That's why the images was dark. It was embarrassing, but as you say, at least I got some keepers out of it.

another one

Looking at the second image, I can almost see a person in the birds eye.

Some shots of the northern flicker today. Still cloudy but it stopped raining so I thought shooting some birds would be nice

Not sure about the pp on this one. I messed up this one, blown blackground so I adjusted the exposure. I'll do a different edit later.
