August 20 Looking for the Goodies

This female hummingbird was back and forth to my lantana a good part of the day today. Got several fairly decent shots for a beginner in shooting hummers - they definitely are a challenge! But what fun to watch.
Gorgeous shot! I think it's so fun that we get pictures so much alike! What shall we capture tomorrow? :0)

1600 ISO speed wow I am soooooooooo jealous of you getting this PERFECT shot. I keep practicing but just can't get one of these. If I could fav this 25 times i would. wow, wow and wow.

@sailingmusic You can't guess how many shots I've taken of these hummingbirds - I keep looking (drooling) at others then check their settings - think I've tried every possible combination - may finally be closer. So glad you liked it.

@ellimae thanks, Ellen - I've sure enjoyed your travels and shots - the things you've come up with for your Challenge have been neat. If you ever have time (sounds unlikely) you might enjoy my other photos at www.aphotoaday2012.shutterfly.com. It's all on the nature theme.
