Experimenting with Hummingbirds...

Fred called..."What are you doing?"..."hmm do you even need to ask?"..."How many photos can one person take of hummingbirds?"..."As many as I want!"...."Your wasting film!"..."Darl'in do you remember I have a digital camera?"..."No film involoved"...
MEN!!
May someday he'll wake up! (lol)
Today I experimented with my different lens to see which one I thought did a better job! I also used the flash and then tried without the flash...It's been overcast most of the afternoon and I had a really tough time getting the exposure correct...

This was taken at about 1pm with the telephoto 70-300mm lens.

28-105mm lens 3pm with flash...The flash over-exposed it so I played with it in PSE to darken it up a bit...
28-105mm lens after I adjusted the camera, no flash. 3pm.

50mm lens at 4pm, flash.


50mm lens at 4pm, flash.

I think this is my favorite one of the day or maybe the berylline one from earlier!!

Okay so I am off to finish dinner and finished with hummingbird photos for the day, lol...well maybe!

Wow! That's a lot of hummingbirds. We used to see a few at the feeder in our old house in N. Fla., but never so many! It's raining here too.
