Hummer shot with softboxes

Posted By Robert Watters

Excellent shots Tom.
That first one is amazing, not only did you stop the wing motion but you captured incredible feather detail in that far wing.

PROTHONOTARY WARBLER

Nice capture.
I must say that I think this is a 1st year Wilson's Warbler. Check it out, specifically the tail to wing length and wing color. Let me know what you think.

I like this first one, with the eye, the best.

Nice shots.
That lens looks like a keeper for the macro stuff. What are your overall impressions?
I've been looking for a replacement for the 18-55mm kit lens and this one looks like a candidate.

Amazingly sharp and beautiful Paul.
Are these hand held and I may have asked you before but what equipment are you using?

Hummer at feeder

Looks good.
The slow shutter speed really accentuates the wing motion.
