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.
