    Some hummingbird photos

    Saw some hummingbirds around a feeder today.

    All shot with 105 VR f2.8 macro @ ISO 800, f3 or bigger, shutter speed 1/2500 sec or faster.

    Manual focusing + LUCK. So, apparently, some are sharper than the other

    wonderful shots, especially the last two. I like your odd shot (posted seperately) the wing position makes it interesting.

    Wow! fantastic images there, AgingEyes.

    A few more sessions and you'll forget that your lenses have that AF switch
    Please do not edit or repost my images.

    See my website HERE.


    What's a Loupe for anyway?

    Ha ha ha...

    Let's just say sometimes turning off the AF can be helpful.

    I think the last two I did better on the focus.

    Thanks for the nice words, Scott!
