Tullahoma Posted October 5, 2009 Share #1 Posted October 5, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Migrating hummingbirds are stopping at our feeder on their way south. This female spent an afternoon around the feeder, recovering from her journey. Leica Elmarit-R 60/2.8 Macro on E-510, ISO 400, RAW Jim N. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StFreud Posted October 5, 2009 Share #2 Posted October 5, 2009 Jim, I wish I could watch those birds too. They are so sweet. But this little guy has moved a bit, I think, because it is not as sharp as the feeder. Stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tullahoma Posted October 5, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted October 5, 2009 Stefan, With poor, back, light, it was a compromise between image quality and shutter speed. I chose ISO 400 for quality, but it only allowed 1/80, which was marginal with the equivalent of a 120mm lens. All told, it is the best image I have captured from the feeder this year. Thanks for looking. Jim N. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
