More Hummin’

Our two hummers have been coming to the feeder each evening so I set out to shoot them again. I like the background better than my first try, but the angle wasn’t as good. Most of the shots got the back of the birds and, while interesting, you need to be able to see the eye and beak, I think. I’m thinking I’ll move the feeder to a new spot to try to get better angles. Strobist info: Vivitar 285HV at about 120 degrees on camera right at 1/4 power and SB26 about 45 degrees on camera right at 1/4 power.

    I would be willing to bet before man began feeding Humming Birds pure sugar they were a slow and relaxed bird, who would perch in one spot and stay all day long. A lazy bird easily tammed and kept as a pet in a cage. A joy to train and almost as popular as parrots.
