karmicdragonflyI spent a lot of time with the camera this weekend! It was good and I enjoyed myself, but I have given myself a rest period today...I noticed the bikers returning from the races in the park tonight...I'd like to get over there and practice my panning on them before they stop for the Fall!
I had not been completely satisfied with the hummingbird pictures...at least until yesterday when I got a couple pics that I liked!
This one was when I put the camera on its back under the feeder, taking pictures at intervals --
Originally, I was hand-holding the camera, but when I walked too close to the feeder, the birds flew away.
Then, I put the camera on the tripod taking intervals. But I wasn't happy with the shutter motion or depth of field focus.
The final solution was to stand in place near the porch but in the garden...and they returned. Often it was about 10 minutes before they stopped by my feeder. As long as I was slow in motion while photo taking, they seemed to be okay with me being there.
