Re: Nature Pics
Lots of hummingbirds at my place, probably because my husband put up a large number of feeders and keeps complaining that he has to fill them every few days, but he actually loves seeing them. So far, all Anna's Hummingbirds.

Re: Nature Pics
I feed hummingbirds and we get a lot of ruby-throated but WOW! those photos, narya! Do you use a tripod and a remote clicker?

Re: Nature Pics
They are so used to us coming and going on the back porch that I just stand out there with my telephoto in hand, and take pics as close as 5 feet away. Sometimes they buzz me to go away and leave them alone. Also, if I take 20 pics, one of them will be in focus. That's the one I post.

Re: Nature Pics
Remember the days of film? As in worrying about wasting film?

Re: Nature Pics
Yes, in fact I remember the day I walked into my local camera shop to get a set of developed photos. The guy behind the counter said "I see you finally got auto-focus". Yup, it was that bad. But now I could look forward to 24 mostly in focus photos per roll instead of 2 per roll.
I've gotten to the point where I take up to 400 digital pictures per day now. The tedious part is reviewing them all to get a handful worth keeping. But pixels are cheap, so I'll keep snapping.

Re: Nature Pics
Yeah, the bad thing about old film cameras is not knowing you missed or blew the shot until after developing the film. The last 2 good cameras I bought were so easily ruined by moisture I'm nervous to buy another as they are pretty pricey.
We saw a young eagle today but my camera phone just doesn't cut it for that type of photo.

Re: Nature Pics
Very neat!
I see our local deer so much that I don't even bother with photos. But sometimes they get especially cute.
