jodelak Cream of the Crop More info | Feb 20, 2012 17:25 | #8898 hope you guys don't mind a little bit of kwento  i read from the birding website here that definitely spring is around the corner and these wonderful beautiful tiny birds are starting to show. so lunch break, i decided to walk around and not a few minutes later, my tummy is krug krug. damn, kill joy. and the weather is not cooperating, its cloudy and pretty soon it will be raining. the first place i went to is a failure. and since my tummy is krug krug i gave up and decided to go home. on the way, i decided to visit the dock and hopefully see a kingfisher. and since my tummy is not krug krug anymore, i said what the hell, just do it. no kingfishers, and i was attacked by 2 pigeons. lol. i am walking towards and i saw these very small bird, so, i looked thru my zoom lens and saw its a HUMMINGBIRD. yes! i walked towards the pretty bird and took some shots. then it started raining, and my tummy is krug krug again. lol. so i decided to go home but i will be back.here's a couple of pics, will post more later Anna's Hummingbird  In this shot the hummingbird is calling. i saw about 5 hummingbirds  ... does it really matter?i see with my eyes, i shoot with my fingers.

What lens did you use on these shots, how far were you from the birds? i suck at estimating distance but maybe around 20 - 25ft. these pics are about 50-60% crop. i was using the 400 f/5.6 lens. these shots actually it was already drizzling so i hurried up going to the car ... does it really matter?i see with my eyes, i shoot with my fingers.

Can't seem to mimic the clarity and sharpness of your shots. basic pp angel. i use cs4. because i have to crop this heavily, i do a reduce noise first, then usm. then level, contrast and saturation. i play with these until i like it ... does it really matter?i see with my eyes, i shoot with my fingers.

LOL - I used my 60D and Canon 50mm 1.4 (yes you'r reading it right, 50mm Hehehe) shot thru a glass window with off camera 430exII. Im guessing I was about a foot and a half away from it. I was surprised the bird didnt see me, and it didnt bothered by the flash. All I did on the PP was a little bit of unsharp mask, levels, and a little crop. wow ur so lucky. i just put out my hummingbird feeder but i'm not betting that it will have hummingbirds feeding anytime soon. ... does it really matter?i see with my eyes, i shoot with my fingers.
