    First hummingbird of the season

    Greetings,

    We've had frost warnings up until the night before last so I waited until yesterday to hang the feeder.

    Cloudy and rainy all day but I Had To Shoot One

    Great shot Don, a beautiful little bird too.
    Keep your sense of proportion by regularly, preferably daily, visiting the natural world.

    A little better lighting today...

    Both were shot with the 50-200 + ec 14, first image at iso 400 and second one at iso 200. The second one looks even "noisier" than the first ???

    For the next series I'm going to removed the ec 14 and see how that looks, it does have a reputation for crazy bokeh on the 50-200

    It's difficult to not shoot them when they are flying about
