Hummers...

Very nice. Never seen one in these parts.

 

I can't see the first one but the second one is very good!

 

I see them both  
As I'm several thousand miles from the nearest wild hummingbird I'm always jealous of shots like these. I prefer the colour to the B&W - I always do for bird photos. I think the second might look better with a gentler crop, giving a little more space above and in front of the bird; this would get the eye nearer to the centre of the image and give a stronger composition.

What shutter speed are you using and are you also using flash.

 

Can't see either 

 

Me too.

 

Very nice shots, I plan on setting up a feeder this weekend to attract the local hummers. Forgive my ignorance but what is a "B&W"? Also did you get these hand held or off a tripod.

 

Hi George,

Nice shots.

your focus is dead on on the B&W. But why shoot a hummer in B&W? I'm not sure I get it.

Thanks for sharing

Hi again....

You're right, why not B&W. Guess that since I feed about 30+ of them all the time I am just so used to seeing them in color. Never really entered my mind to shoot them B&W.

Just keep shooting them - they are so much fun & sometimes forget to shoot & just stand & stare at them in wonder. Such amazing little aerial acrobats. I just love them.

Thanks for sharing & keep up the good work.

17 & 21 are wall hangers. Nice images. Went to Pbase, still can't see them here.
