Thank you so much Paula! Yes, a fast shutter speed for sure and it was a challenge to keep the shutter speed up there, because the sun kept ducking behind the clouds. I was continually adjusting my aperture and exposure settings that day. lol : )

Thank you so kindly Maggie! : )

Thank you so much Daniel! I rather not have to change backgrounds on my photos if at all possible, but unfortunately there are times when shooting conditions render changing the background easier, than attempting to work with an otherwise distracting, contrasty ect background. Of course on the other hand, I won’t hesitate to change a background on a piece where I am rendering an artsy feel to a particular shot! With this shot, I could have mentioned nothing and no one would have known otherwise, but I have a conscience that would have nagged me, if you know what I mean? lol Many kind thanks again Daniel. : )

Anybody can do it! You just have to put in time, have lots of patience, proper camera settings for what you are shooting, a tripod and a steady shutter finger! Oh I almost forgot, a subject to shoot and framing it to create that balanced composition. lol Nice lighting helps too! Boy oh boy, photography sure is a fun challenging hobby isn’t it?! lol Many kind thanks Lynn! : )

Lol,......no, but I keep hoping they will just “hold it”! lol When it came to this particular shot, the bird had backed away from the feeder and was hovering when I captured it. This is why its wing didn’t blur with motion. Typically, with the shutter speed that I shot this with, the wings would end up showing motion blur. I just happened to get lucky when the bird hovered momentarily. I managed to capture three consecutive very nice frames while the bird held the hover. Many kind thanks again! : )

Thank you so kindly Amrita! : )

Thank you so kindly camerahappy! Over the last four days I have an explosion of Humming Birds visiting my feeder! Most are babies. They are consuming what they would have consumed in four days, in only one day! They are consuming 1 cup of sugar in 2 1/4 cups of water a day now! Many kind thanks again! : )

They are tiny when in the nest, but by the time they find their way to the feeders, they are close to the same size as their parents. Their markings are not as nice as the adults and their heads can appear large on their bodies. lol Apparently Humming birds consume about a thimble full a day, which means I have many feeding at my feeder! lol

Thank you so much Dennis! : )

Thank you so much Kody! They certainly are brave little birds and it is so cool when one does land on you for sure! I can hold the feeder and they will come and feed. They also don’t mind me standing within a foot of them while they are feeding. They get used to you and I am sure they realize who is feeding them! Many thanks again Kody! : )

Awe,.....what an experience that must have been hey? I was filling the feeder yesterday and had one trying to feed as I was filling the bottle. I told her that she had to wait until it was filled and upright. lol
