Sure. F7.1, 1/250, ISO 200 fill flash on camera. The blind does not lend itself to any off camera flash :( --------------------------- Paul Chance, aChanceEncounter.com “A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.” Ansel Adams |

I had been reading up on shooting these. One thing I found said to use a low flash setting like 1/32 or 1/64. This makes the flash duration very short; I think he said 1/25000 of a second. Fast enough to freeze the wings. I got a feeder out, maybe I will get a chance to play with thiese some. |

Paul, Nice clean shot. I have only seen one hummingbird this year around me. At first, I thought it was a big bug.... Someday I'll find a good spot and plant my butt there... w9ctm added 0 Minutes and 56 Seconds later...Double Post Merged Below By the way, what lens? How far away from it were you? --------------------------- Chuck Murphy Photography | - Hutto, TX Check out the NEW Pixtus Photography Cheat Sheet! |
