Hasn't voted | LOL... I wish! I would love to take a photography class. It is on my list of things to do soon!
I have about 20 hummers buzzing around my place every day. I have taken about 100 shots and have ended up with a few good shots. Plus a new photo editing program that I have been trying out helps. I really haven't had to edit much on some of the good shots, just zoom in a bit.
Thanks for your comment. | | Posted Jul 20, 2008 11:14 am |
| Dan Leonhard | Wow! | | 
Voted 10/10 | great photo! These guys come buzzing by my window every now and then but they are too fast to get a good look at- better yet a photo! Great capture! | | Posted Jul 18, 2008 7:04 pm |

Hasn't voted | I live in a place where we have dozens of hummers every day. I have taken a ton of shots to get a few good ones. I could spend hours watching them, they are so much fun!

Voted 10/10 | I don't know the first thing about photography, but it seems that you have used a high speed shutter setting. Is that what you did to get such a shot? | | Posted Sep 2, 2008 1:24 am |
 | | rdmc | Re: Perfect Form | | 
Hasn't voted | Yes, I did use high shutter setting. I am just an amateur photographer myself. I am learning though. I often have dozens of pictures before I get the right shot.
Thanks!

Voted 10/10 | You've got some SUPER photos. This is one of many that jumped out at me. Hummers are great! | | Posted Sep 5, 2008 8:52 pm |

Hasn't voted | Thank you! I love theese little critters, they are so fun to watch. I have dozens of them all summer at my house. I go through about 6 cups of food a day keeping them happy. They are a challenge to photograph at times though, and I am just a beginner in the photography department. | | Posted Sep 6, 2008 12:06 pm |
| BCJ | Wow! | | 
Voted 10/10 | Just amazing that you were able to pull off a shot like this...especially with the wings in such a perfect position. Amazing photo! | | Posted Oct 29, 2008 5:47 pm |

Voted 10/10 | I dont know how you get shots like this one but all I have to say is WOW.................NICE WORK! | | Posted Dec 20, 2009 12:59 am |
 | | rdmc | Re: Awsome..... | | 
Hasn't voted | Thank you very much!
I'm not sure how I ended up with such a clear shot either..... but when you take hundreds of shots, the odds of getting at least a few good ones is fairly good. :0)
I am still quite an amateur of photography, and don't find time to learn what I need to.
You have some gret pictures as well!
Have a very Merry Christmas, and happy hiking in 2010!
Blessings!

Hasn't voted | Thank you so much for your kind compliment...
.... and coming from such a great photographer...
Your landscape photography is amazing, and of places that I have known...
I lived in Idaho for a few years and enjoyed the Sawtooths.... and now in Western Colorado.
