They are beautiful. 

It is nice that you could get so close. 

Were you sitting in a chair?

This is a very nice place to take pictures of Hummingbirds. To answer your question Judy: I was actually sitting in A Rocking Chair in the shade. This one Feeder is just off the Deck of the Wildlife Center. But I had to delete a lot of photos. Some had nothing on them and some were just out of focus. It took a lot of moving the Camera with the Hummingbirds movement. I could do this because they were fighting and actually held still long enough for me to refocus. I deleted a lot of photos that I usually accept. But I only wanted the ones that had the eye gleam and part of the body in focus. Even though I was so close, I still had to use my long Telephoto to get the larger photos. I have plenty of more that I haven't even looked at yet. I appreciate all of the comments from each of you.

We have a hummer feeder out our kitchen window.  I love to watch them.  It is good to know how you did these, and I understand about tossing a lot.  Isn't it wonderful that we no longer have the expense of film and developing film!

Thanks Buddy! I'm glad you like my website  and you're right Judy. I use to take 20 or more roles of film per trip. Now, I can just delete the ones I don't like. I saved enough in the first year in developing charges to pay for my Digital Camera.Hope you're having a blessed day and My the Lord bless & keep you.
