They almost have a sense and just as you about to press the shutter, they flit right out of there. This one was a little tyrant. Kept all the other hummers away.

gjl711 THREAD STARTER Wait.. you can't unkill your own kill. 57,733 posts Likes: 4065 Joined Aug 2006 Location: Deep in the heart of Texas More info | Jul 11, 2007 08:53 | #6 Thanx for the comments. He was one tough little bird chasing all others away. I set up a lawn chair and watched this guy for almost an hour. Every once in a while he would take off chasing someone and two others would sneak in but he soon returned ready for a fight. I did use a fill flash bounced off of an index card though this little bugger was in full sun. It looked too contrasty without the fill. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Jul 11, 2007 21:38 | #11 I'm impressed. That's some shot. If you don't mind would you tell your settings on the camera and flash? I have a 550 ex that hasn't gotten enough use and would like this recipe John
