I’ve tried a couple of times, with little to no success, to get a picture of some of the hummingbirds that are visiting my feeder this summer. Most of the ones I have taken in the past have been blurry, but I finally had a little bit of success Sunday afternoon. I know my camera has a good zoom and I’ve been frustrated that I haven’t been able to get a picture that is clear and zoomed in on the bird itself and not the feeder or the background. I’m seriously considering buying myself a “Photography for Dummies” book so I can learn something. My camera has a lot of nice features and I basically don’t have a clue how to use most of them!
Here’s one, and I’m putting a couple more on the extended entry, so click the link if you’d like to see…
Here’s a few more 🙂
Awwww.
You must have figured something out to do because these are good, focused on the bird and all and background is faded out. Good job.
Stacy: do you have the same camera i do? because if you do, you have 2 options: either the action mode or under “scenes” use “close-up” and then zoom way in.
These came out great! Good job!
Wow, great shot, girl!
They look better than any pics I’ve tried to take. I totally forgot to put out my hummer feeder this year – wonder if it’s too late?
Stacy these are wonderful. You are so lucky to get hummingbirds to your yard. I know we have the little darlings because I have seen them, but each year when I put out the feeder they don’t show up.
Very pretty subject, and good pictures! Photography is hard, isn’t it?!
Wow Stacy, those are some great shots! You are a pro! Who needs Photography for Dummies? Not you!
If you have some spare time and want to look online. The DIY channel has a show about digital photography called The Whole Picture. It has helped me alot. You can look up the episodes on their website. http://www.diynetwork.com/diy/shows_dtwp/
