The combination of the morning sun and the hummingbirds was too tempting to resist. |
I stood in a new spot, only about 4 feet away. |
I was still as a statue for 3 minutes before the birds decided they were more thirsty than afraid. |
I did not receive any extra instruction about photographing birds from visiting house guests this summer. |
However, simply changing my location seemed to improve the quality of the pictures. |
I used the sport setting this morning. The bird wasn't actually falling, but it is a funny picture. |
I was delighted to see the bright orange spot on this bird's throat. |
The next bird had a different spot. |
I did not realize the variety of hummingbirds that visit the feeder until I started photographing them. |
This bird, with the green back, might be my favorite. |
This was a delightful photography session this morning. |
My new secret is to allow the camera to focus on one part of the feeder, not the birds. |
The birds seemed perfectly happy to fly inside my focus range. |
At this point, I decided my session was at an end. |
