Saturday Morning Hummer

BurntRaw

HA! Not what you thought.

It is just a humming bird, and unlike Spring Chicken I can't just snatch them out of the air with my bare hands (after which I think he eats them) but I do catch one every now and again with the camera.

The little buggers are quick...

How do you like your Nikon D80? From the looks of those pics it looks like you know what you're doing.

I think this year will be the year I get a digital SLR. I'm hoping Costco has the D90 for the holidays at a good price.

Thanks! It is just like the others only cropped.

BurntRaw

Thank you. The little buggers are tough subject to photograph. What ever happened to "smile for the camera?"

BurntRaw

If you didn't get a picture, then I will have to take your word for it...

I usually post the hummers about this time of year. The first time I did, Spring Chicken replied with a photo of him holding a hummer in his hand.

Actually, according to some on this forum, they taste just like...well; Chicken

I love the D80. But one thing I have learned, it is not all about the camera. Granted, an SLR will give you much greater control than a point and shoot, but the best SLR are still only as good as the person taking the photo.

Bottom line; spend a bit on education (a couple of books and a good work shop or ten)then go for the equipment.

Love that Firebush. Must be tasty! These guys are sure fun to watch!

Good weekend to you!
