Wow, beautiful. What camera are you using that can freeze frame a hummers wings in motion ? I know the bottom pic he is perched, but you about froze them in the upper one while in flight.

Favorite Picture

I'm sure y'all with appreciate this picture:

Great shots, B.A...........Hummers started to swamp my area about a month ago.......Big number of the ruby-throated ones, but boatloads of blacks and grays too........beautiful and fun to watch.
p.s. Seen more black/yellow finches this year than any previous year......Might be the sunflowers I planted, but some of the smaller ones even dip into the hummingbird feeder right alongside the hummers.....they seem to get along fine....

Looks like it is time for me to put some Hummingbird Videos on Photobucket.
I took them in 1994 in Osoyoos BC in the backyard of a friends place
Around here they don't stick around long enough to be filmed by any camera.

Outstanding photos Bob. You must have a rock-steady hold to get focus like that! And the GMC POS shot brings a smile, especially with the rust coming through below the tail light.

Hummingbirds ROCK!
A few times, I have stood very still by one of my feeders with my held up to the feeder, much like a perch.
After a few minutes, I've had hummingbirds land on my finger and feed.
Pretty cool thing to feel it land on your finger.

Looking at the EXIF, the difference between the 'frozen' wings and the intentional blurred ones, the exposure time difference is 4/10000 and 5/10000 sec. Is that all there is to that? That 'small' difference will freeze the wings?

Its not so much the camera, its the lens (and user), thats a very nice lens.
