I decided tonight at dinner to finally set Chuck up on a tripod out on the deck and see if I could get a couple of nice shots of our little friends.
Holy crap!
I set the tripod close to the door with the cable release attached. I ran the cable inside so that I could sit behind the blinds and take the photos. Chuck's shutter sounds like a hammer and my little friend was kind of freaked out at first. There was a big wasp sitting on the feeder which was adding to the mayhem. It only took about 10 minutes to get more than 100 photos. What can I say....I'm a maniac. It's so tempting to try this again, but I would posting the same photos over and over if I did. Well...maybe one more time (or so).
Here we go...
Ruby-throated Hummingbird
Look at his little tootsies!! Think about this...my shutter speed was 1/80 of a second...how freaking fast do his wings move?!!
