A few more hummers. First two R7 with 200-800. The last one is technically terrible (Nikon P1000 @ ISO 1600), but it was a cute scene.

I really like the first one, Beautiful shot. Well done!

Beautifully photographed in its natural habitat. I love the bird's pose.

Beautifully photographed in its natural habitat. I love the bird's pose.

Thanks. Seeing it in the wild while out in the jungle was a real thrill, but photographing it was almost impossible. This particular one was photographed at a blind.

Please forgive a fellow experimental scientist for using your image to test those theories - after all as Max Planck wrote: "Experiments are the only means of knowledge at our disposal, the rest is poetry, imagination." (especially what's on Facebook).

I have lots to post here but for now will limit my response to this: in the process of trying to 'normalize' all three original images I learned some things I didn't know about gamma correction--it is now part of my 'toolbox' when modifying images.

It's much better to view it in a larger photo. Thanks. Nice shot!

A bird photographer friend and I took a walk around some trails at our local High School that we use for XC skiing and running. He knows all their name's, I don't. I do know the obvious Red Winged Black bird, both adult and juvenile. The second one I think is a chipping sparrow and last one is a woodpecker of some kind. My forte is Track and Field, and road races, not so much wildlife. Although I really did enjoy it.

The mob is getting bigger. My little birds are lapping down almost 3 lbs. of sugar a day. The Anna's are back and also some Rufous. All R7 +200-800.


Very colorful Allen's female




Anna's Male




Rufous Male (won't pose anywhere there isn't food)



Typical crowding at the chow hall.

Very nice series, GMCPhotographics.

Thank you, I’m visiting relatives in Falkirk, Scotland for the week. These were taken at the Scottish Owl Centre on Tuesday. I swapped out my R5 for a new R6iii last week and it’s been a good shake down experience with my new camera. I’m keeping my R6ii for low light & landscape work, my R6iii is for action, birding and wildlife.

If the cow can jump over the moon, why can't the chipmunk jump over the Northern flicker?

Some from today... Common wax-bill, subadult (male) Northern Cardinal, Red-whiskered Bulbul ("desperately searching for birds", in this case it's fledglings) and fledglings of Chestnut Munia.
