Beautiful images, they're without TC i assume, how did you manage?
Thank you.
No TC. The 100-400 can focus as close as 3ft. I shot most of these around F/9.0 and F/11 and the distance was around 4ft at the time. We have several feeders around the yard, this gives me an opportunity to capture some decent shots up close.
Wow.. those are insane. I know the A1 is god tier but it's amazing you were able to capture a hummingbird's wings flapping and near-perfect focus of them. It's so beautiful.

Many thanks, Jerky. I'm glad you liked the images and thanks for the comments.
Lol that is insane. I didn't even see the spider web on its head. All the intricate lines of feathers and everything captured so perfectly. Then that tiny little thread on its head.

Pretty wild the details the camera/lens combo picks up. The 100-400 is my favorite for these types of shots. It's super sharp and the close focusing distance makes it a pleasure to shoot.
Some shots with the Trioplan lens. They design the optics in such a way that it makes soap bubble like bokeh when the background is properly distanced from the subject. It's a fun lens to play around a couple times a year.
This morning I went to a park to try to photograph the baby hooded mergansers and the baby wood ducks but they were hiding from me. But this beauty landed about 10' from me when I was taking my camera out of the bag and he stayed long enough for me to blast off dozens of shots. I didn't know what kind of bird it is but I learned it's a prothonotary warbler, that's a mouthful! Also some Canada babies from yesterday at a different park.
