This one just started coming around. These are my first attempts. I thought racecars were hard to track!;) C&C welcomed and appreciated.

They are hard to track. I just end up using manual focus most of the time, use the 70-200 zoom set a little wide and f/8 or more if I can and just spray and pray. :)

Good start. but a il soft. Lice canonloader said. THey are VERY VERY hard to track and you must kind of wai and wait. Try also to ve sort of level with the hummer. Looks like you are too low or the feeder is too high. Also try putting the feeders wehre they are not hit by the sun too much. It will heat the eater and they will not drink. Would you like a hot coke ? :)
