After Dinner Hummer

By tgjohnmaz written 8/18/06 8:08 PM, published 8/18/06 8:08 PM

After dinner tonight, I decided to take my coffee on the front stoop. The hummingbird feeder was about 4 feet away, so I was pleasantly surprised when they showed up. They were even nice enough to come back when I got up to go grab the camera

Hope you enjoy my feeble, freehand, first attempt at shooting hummers with a flash.

You're too modest! Those are great pictures. What kind of camera was it that you used?
