p.1 #1 · New to forum - Hummingbirds!

Hi Forum,
I am new to the forum. I love photographing my flower garden as well as photographing the song birds. My favorite is the hummingbird.

Here are a few of my favorite hummingbird pictures on my red bee balm. My Hubby was kind enough to post process them for me.

It's nice to be on board with all you wonderful photographers!
Hope you enjoy.

These four photos I think were all taken with a Canon 7D with a 70-200mm + 1.4 extender.

Pix 1
Early Spring 2011, this young male hummingbird had a full white throat as the months progressed I watched his ruby throat fill in.

Pix 2
The colors in the background are out of focus flowers.

Here is a female hummingbird.

Yes indeed welcome aboard! I had noticed you making comments already, I was waiting for you to start posting

This is a wonderful first set!! More so that you are shooting with shortish glass, excellent job with that rig. I do look forward to seeing more of your work.

Great job. I particularly like the last one, wonderful angle catching both wings.

Thank you Tim.
I plant Red Bee Balm to attract the hummingbirds rather than using feeders. It is more of a natural setting. Most of my pictures are nearly full frame because I am about six feet away.
