Very nice shot, mdmphoto. Beautiful bird. Well done.

I was washing dishes and watched a Hummingbird darting around the Honeysuckle bush in the front yard.
So I grabbed my 7D with the 100-400 lens and fired off 12 shots, three were keepers.

Nice close up. I like the reflexion (or 'reflection' in you prefer) in the eye.

Hi ejenner.
I don't see a problem with the background, if I had to guess I'd say part of the feeder frame in front of a nicely oof red brick wall. To me this just proves you are lucky enough to have birds in your garden.
A great shot, I also like the reflection in the eye and the overall level of detail.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks. Yes you are correct, and last weekend my backyard was like an aviary - the neighbors were away (they have young kids), we put out some feeders and it was cooler than it has been.


The Sig 150-600 is not up to swallows in flight - at least not in my hands, but I caught one taking a break today and was lucky enough to get close. A bit of a crop on this one, but still plenty of detail.
