Description
"Hummer"
I'm telling you that wildlife photographer i'm not! I bow to all those guys out there, specialy those who photograph birds!They have all my attention and respect!
I have been chasing those little guys for a couple days now,i'm telling you they are someting else! Smaller than my baby finger,quick as heck and extremely hard to capture,and to be focus on from distance specialy on a windy day!Tripod or not they're on a constant moving target! Auto focus does'nt quite do the trick for me,there's always something in the way!I have taken hundreds of shots right from my kitchen window,and deleted most of them because they where out of focus ,or too much glare and reflection problems,but i manage to salvage a few of them,and here is one!You could say that's my very first "Hummer" shot!My only regret is that,i really wish that it could be sharper!I have done so,but i'm afraid to over do it and spoil everything! No other post work was used!I don't believe in the practice of doing so,or it becomes nothing more than fabrication!Where is the art then? That's my pov!
Let me know what you think!I have'nt giving up yet,but i'll keep on trying! It is'nt a super shot,but i kind of like it myself!Hope that you will too!Thanks for taken a peak,and thank you also for all your great support and comments on my last posted picture of "Rusty" my little iron friend!
Have a great week everybody,and take care!:)

considering how much hummingbirds are shy, this is a excellent capture and it looks superb on my lcd wide screen-V

Excellent shot. I too love to watch and try to photograph those lovely birds. So I know how tough it is to get a good shot of them. You should be very happy with your shot. Vote
