When I was sitting on my front porch, this little hummingbird looked right at me and if he could have talked, he would have said “Take my picture!” .

that’s pretty cool, what size lens were you using?
Thank you for your comments on my photo. I appreciate it very much!
I have to change 1238mm lens to 70-300mm zoom lens. The shot was at 225mm. Canon uses some kind of formula and that number came out when I checked the photo prosperities of that picture.

1238mm is quite the lens… Were you using a spotting scope or something? That’s an amazing capture.

Ahh thanks for the update, I know you can get some crazy big numbers with scopes and such, so I dodn’t think it was a mistake, was just curious. :)
Thank You for bringing that to my attention, I completely missed that. Thank You.
