This set was taken a couple of weeks ago in the rain at Oakland Lake here in New York City. The humming birds have flown south for the winter yet it was fun photographing them when they were hear.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Morris

Nice shots, Morris. They are fast and can be difficult to photograph, but you managed it well.

Nice set. 3,4 & 5th can be tricky for cameras to pick the subject from the distractions. Camera did fine.

Thank you Vic,
Most of our summer birds are gone and the winter birds are yet to arrive.

Thank you Chris,

I was very pleased how well the X-H2s did and there is a nice improvement with the latest firmware.
