Capturing Hummers

[bob williams]

Bob - Well we had a little snow falling today... so maybe I have a better chance of seeing the elusive Snow Hummer, but I always thought the Snow Hummer looked like this: http://www.hummerguy.net/hummer-news...un-in-the-snow

Touché Conropl

Well, Here it is, My first hummer of the season. I still have to be very patient because the birds aren't hitting the feeders often enough to get good opportunities. I do like my new studio box and having enough flashes to completely eliminate ambient light.

7d, 500L, Tripod, remote shutter release, 4 flashes set to 1/32nd (two on the bird and two on the background
ISO 200, F9, 1/250th manual settings, manual focus

Wow Bob... that is a great one, and for that to be the first of the year is amazing.

Hooray! I was just thinking about this thread today when a hummer checked me out on the patio for a second or two. Happy to see that they came back to your yard
