    Nice RTH Joel, But I am trying to figure out what is going on with those background branches. Was the Wind blowing?

    I was out shooting hummers this afternoon and was working on some different tactics---I decided to give the 100 f2.8L a shot, so now my entire setup was compressed into a 6ftx6ft square, maybe even smaller. Although I wasn't happy with my background and lights, I did manage to get this---Just a little ghosting



    And here is a shot of Mr. Cooper. He stops by and visits almost every day, but this was the first time I noticed that he was tagged.

    Thanks Bob,,,,there was a little breeze but most of it I think is just the BOKEH of the lens, looks a little weird.

    Neat idea with the Macro 100....I have wanted tot ry that with a fisheye lens but I don't have one

    I like the Cooper's Hawk too. I have seen them here but very difficult to get a pic.

    Here is anothe RTH, later in the morning with a shaft of sunlight coming throught the leaves

    That's amazing... now you have the birds trained to bring their own lighting to their photo shoot. Do they have to make appointments also?

    Joel, Great shot---I love the background light just centered behind the bird---Very nice. At the moment, I am setup on the patio trying to get the hummers to hit my wife's orchid, but no luck yet. Just to change things up a bit, I am shooting a solid black background, with 4 flashes on the bird/flower set @1/64th. Looks like it may make a nice shot if I can just get the birds to hit.

    Joel, your shots are stunning!! I am almost afraid to post here but here goes ...

    The only bird shots I really take these days are of the FRTHB's in my backyard. Yesterday, my daughter & I were sitting in the backyard under the gazebo when the little bird actually came and almost sat on one of the empty chairs next to me!! She flew about an inch from the chair cushion for a few minutes and just stared at us!! Of course, one of the few times I was out there without a camera!! Heck, a macro lens would have been the only thing that would have worked she was so close!!

    Here are a few from today ...
