p.1 #1 · First Hummers

Congratulations to dane.dawg for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 3 votes - View Previous Winners

First Hummer of the season.
Three flashes used with remote flash trigger. I tried F-22 and did not like the diffraction, but F-14 seems to let to much ambient light in which causes ghosting.

Number two is very unique how the purple is spread!

These are all wonderful, impossible to pick a favourite. Clearly, this is not your first hummingbird rodeo!

Great shots. What lens were you using? Autofocus setup? How much are these cropped?

Dane:

First off, great captures. Excellent detail on the hummers.

IMO, these are posted too large, the crops are too tight and try to vary your backgrounds, they don't look natural. I hope to see more.

Wow, fantastic shots. Even stuffed I couldn't get these birds that sharp. Keep up the impressive work!

Thank you for the CandC Ted.
The background deferentially needs work, and I am confused why the photos are so big on this website.
