Focal Length 300 / BEST VIEWED LARGE. I have done a lot of shooting this year, Wish I had my new camera for most of the shots I have done. This one is my absolute favorite that I did this year. I entered it into a competition, and it won, so now it is time to share it with all of you. I do hope you get as excited as I did. I did work on it in PS a little, I thought it blurred some, not as sharp as I would like, and I had to take some noise out. I cropped it just a little, and saturated the color. Thats about it.

Hummers and Human by Bonnie T. Barry
I thought I’d try something different this afternoon. After the rain subsided, I went outside, sat with the hummingbird nectar feeder in my hands, and waited. Within moments, two hummers came and sat on my finger, eating contentedly and not the least bit afraid of this extremely close encounter with a human. What a sweet experience! The delicate little talons ticking my finger was so delightful! They eventually were whirring so close to my face I could feel the cool little breezes generated by their wings. I must try this again soon! My husband Tommy snapped this shot.

Female Hummingbird at the Nectar Feeder by Bonnie T. Barry
I actually took this photo with the macro lens (Nikon 105mm with Nikon D700 camera). I got the idea from Dennis Jones from Oklahoma who takes amazing hummingbird pictures. As Dennis suggested, I set up my camera with macro lens right next to the window where I have a feeder attached to the glass with a suction cup. With flash pointed straight up to avoid glare and reflection, I waited for the little wonders to land. I was afraid they wouldn’t come since I was so visible, but I suppose hunger and competitiveness outweighed fear, and come they did. This is one of those visitors, a female hummer who was only inches from me as I shot her photo from inside the house. I have to thank Dennis Jones for his idea of this unique, up close, and personal way to photograph hummingbirds. I’d also like to dedicate this image to my friend Jesika from the U.K. who told me she’s seen only one hummingbird in her life. Wish I could share the little flock with you, Jesika!

Hummer on the wing by Marion Heydenburg
I have much more luck getting birds sitting on the feeder or a tree, etc, but don’t get so many of them on the wing. This little immature male (anna I think) was headed for the feeder when I got this image.

Berylline Hummingbird by tonybat
Berylline Hummer is a Mexican species that finds its way into SE Arizona mountains in most summers. One location that they seem to favor is Beatty’s Guest Ranch in Miller Canyon of the Huachuca Mts. We happen to live within 5 miles of this location which happens to hold the record for most hummer species seen in a single location in a single day, 14 species seen on 2 separate occasions. Although I rarely photograph a bird on a feeder, this species is so rare in the U.S., I took what I could get!!!

Black-chinned Hummingbird by tonybat
Blk-chinned Hummer is in the same genus as the well-known Ruby-throated of the east. Here in SE Arizona, it is the most wide-spread of all the hummers that find their way here to breed. The irridesent gorget often looks black, but when sunlight hits the throat just right, the throat turns a brilliant violet color.

Ring Around the Rosy by Chuck Gardner
This a version of “Ring Around the Rosy” I learned as a child : / Ring around the rosy, / A pocketful of posies. / ashes, ashes. / We all fall down!. / When our mother calls us, / We all jump up! This song’s lyrics refer to the Bubonic Plague which raged through England in 1665. The “ring around the rosy” refers to one of the first skins symptoms of the disease. “A pocketful of posy” refers to the fact that caregivers who actually dared to take care of the sick would often fill their pockets with flowers to overcome the stench of the dead and dying. “Ashes…we all fall down” is reminiscent of going back to dust when we die. / / Taken in my garden in Veneta, Oregon with a Canon PowerShot SX10 IS on 6/20 09, TV 1/630, AV F 5.72, ISO 125, and Focal length 100.00mm.
