I had my 150-600 zoom on to photograph hummingbirds. The fact that I'm posting a sailboat and "the" tree on High Island tells you how successful the hummingbird shots were. I didn't realize how well the zoom would capture the tree 4 miles away. Forced perspective as the sailboat is probably only half the height of the tree, if that.
Thank you for your recent comments and favs. I'm behind in commenting and looking forward to catching up.
My hummingbird shots have been a bust this week too. Hence 7 days of abstracts from the deck! Love this view- and would love to be looking at something like it right now.
We don't have hummingbirds here in the UK, of course, but I have seen film clips of them so have a grasp of their speed. It's a wonder to me that anyone ever manages to capture them!
The letterbox crop works well here, it imparts a sense of the expanse of the horizon along with the dominance of the blues.
