The humming bird. by maggie2

The humming bird.

I finally got a picture of my new friend.

Thanks everyone for the very kind words on my photos. I really appreciate it.
Wow! You got an amazing shot of this hummer. So far, all I have come up with are blurred hummer shots.

A wonderful photo Margaret, but I have yet to get mine.
May 13th, 2011  
@specky Sheila, I think this is a ruby throated hummer. It is green and white with with red on his front. We need Brian to let us know for sure.
May 13th, 2011  
Those are fast moving wings so well done!!!
May 13th, 2011  
Wonderful to catch this guy. It is a ruby throated hummingbird. That is the only kind we have here. Great job.
May 13th, 2011  
He's just beautiful!!! Love his little blurred wings... What an awesome capture!!!
May 13th, 2011  
Excellent! These little guys don't stay put very long.
May 13th, 2011  
@maggie2 @wac I guess it was the placement of his wings that tricked me... my husband saw it though...LOL. :)
May 13th, 2011  
very nicely caught
May 13th, 2011  
what a great action shot, i bet they move really fast!
May 13th, 2011  
This is wonderful! Fav!
May 13th, 2011  
Why thank you. I think those "shadows" are the cloning motions. If you really think they are okay I won't fret. I can't figure out why they show up on some computers andnot others. I may have to print this shot and see what happens.
May 13th, 2011  
Fantastic action shot
May 13th, 2011  
@wac Wendy, they look like clouds and really add to the picture from my view.

I'm so jealous of everyone's hummingbird pics. I have spent probably 300 to 400 dollars in the last month planting hummingbird and butterfly friendly plants. They had better come to see me. Nice capture Margaret!!
May 14th, 2011  
fantastic hummingbird shot!! beautiful bokeh too.
May 14th, 2011  
Excellent Margaret!
May 14th, 2011  
@twofunlabs @lehy Leena, I had just put up the feeder and this was one of the first shots I took. In all I took maybe 30. By the end of summer, I'm sure I will take hundreds. I shoot right through the window where the feeder hangs.
May 14th, 2011  
Absolutely fantastic, AMAZING capture!! Love it!
May 14th, 2011  
Good things come to those that wait and this shot was worth the wait. Very nice capture and lucky you having such a cute little friend.
May 14th, 2011  
wonderful shot - so lucky to have these little guys on your doorstep
May 14th, 2011  
I know its been said already, and a bunch of times, very nice. I just put mine out last night, I hope for some good ones in the days to come.
May 14th, 2011

A FAV ! I have long respected your photography skills but being able to capture a hummingbird in mid flutter is just amazing in my book. They are so fast I can barely keep them in sight...well done !!
May 15th, 2011  
@momoflilly Deb, this is the first time I've managed it unless they sit on my fence, In motion, I have not been too good. Except for this one. I was thrilled.
May 15th, 2011  
wow- amazing flight photo- you should be so proud!!
May 16th, 2011  
wonderfully captured!
May 17th, 2011  
Amazing catch!

This picture reminds me of a song by Elbow ... as good as your picture ...
May 18th, 2011  
WOW! What an incredible capture.....mine are always blurry!
May 18th, 2011  
@oselleso I've never heard of Elbow. I will look them up.
May 18th, 2011
