WOW, great shots. Good use of a beautifully colored background to really make the birds and flower pop off the screen. Excellent flash work to freeze the wings.
Thank you,Shane. The BG is very important for this type of photography and I have several different BGs and this one is a print.
I blurred the image with PS,making it into an almost mono tone color .

Fantastic work Hide,
#5 is my fav. The poses and of course, the lighting is phenomenal on these. I was looking at a Hummer 2009 calendar at the store today and these shots are way better.
My hummer shots are better those you saw in a Hummer calendar? Thank you, Mark. I appreciate your complements.

Congratulations - - I\'m sad, since the fires we\'ve had a drastic reduction in hummers & it makes me sad. We used to have so many, now we only seem to have a few.....
Lil - - as usual taking a break from what I should be doing.
Thank you, Li. It is beyond my imagination about what that fire storms did to the wildlife in your area. It takes time but I\'m sure by spring time,some wildlife
will be back and I\'m sure that the nature has already started working to restore the damage.

I haven\'t taken any hummer shot since my trip to Arizona in Aug. and this is
my longest dry spell as far as my hummer shoots are concerned. For the last
several days, I noticed that this hummer came up to me pretty close,staring at me.
It\'s not because the feeder was empty and he wanted some food but because I felt
he wanted some attention from me as if he was asking me \"Hey! Do you remember me?\"
And I realized that this hummer is the same one that I saw this
past summer. Back then,it was just a juvenile male hummer and his gorget hadn\'t
fully developed,yet. Now he\'s a young adult with a fully dveloped gorget.
To my surprise, he was hovering around the flower and the feeder for a good a few
minutes and he did it over and over again. I know it takes them a lot of energy to do that
and this one just doesn\'t care about the flashes. And I can tell this is not
their father( sorry dad ) because this one is fearless and full of energy. Maybe
he tooks a 5 hour energy drink.
5 flashes with a diffuser on each flash,including a Demb\'s flip-it.
