treebeard Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #1 · My first decent hummingbird shot! I am assuming this is an adult female Ruby-Throated Hummingbird as identified in my Sibleys Field Guide. 2 days ago I moved my feeders and mixed up a new concoction of sugar water and bingo!! In 4 hours my backyard was alive. I have had up to 5 hummingbirds at a time waiting in line. What's even more interesting is watching them fly around and then land on the tiniest of branch and then start buzzing around again. More images to come. It's not my best but considering I had to shoot at ISO 800 due to no sun (yes, it's raining again in NH!) I think it came out pretty good. Thanks for looking! Aug 09, 2008 at 12:22 AM

Lil Judd Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #2 · My first decent hummingbird shot! $ parts water to 1 part sugar - bring to a boil & cook for 2 minutes - chill & serve. That's what I do almost on a daily basis now. We have tons of hummers - - just love them. Congrats at your success. They'll soon get used to you & ignore the flash when you use it.

LABRIEDL Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #3 · My first decent hummingbird shot! Treebeard, Nice i know they're hard to get. Keep at it. She looks a little soft though, and the feeder more in focus than the bird. David Aug 09, 2008 at 01:30 AM

treebeard Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #5 · My first decent hummingbird shot! The whole image looks soft to me. It has been raining here for days so I had to set the camera to ISO 800 just to get 1/250th at 2.8! Hopefully it will stop raining soon so I can get some sunlight. What a noise these little guys make when they are squabbling over an area. Aug 09, 2008 at 02:39 AM

treebeard Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #7 · My first decent hummingbird shot! It stopped raining and the some has finally come out! Can't wait to sneak up on some of these guys now. I think this one is a little better, but I still need to get closer. Edited on Aug 09, 2008 at 07:57 PM Aug 09, 2008 at 12:10 PM
