To answer your question download the picture and then look at the metadata.

I snapped that picture yesterday as the hummer was hovering (in flight). Notice the camera on the metadata and the mm on the lens. The lens was a kit lens 18-135mm set at 85mm.

Notice the other settings ........ cropped sensor, 1/500, F/10, 640ISO.

I was 5 feet away from the little guy and yes, I cropped in big time in PP, thus the grain but never less you can take nice snaps of hummers with your camera and lens.

Hi Beercat,
Thanks for the response. I downloaded the image but have no clue how to check the metadata. :mrgreen: Can you enlighten me? Great photo, btw. :thumbup:

The 6D isn't the best choice for moving targets ..........

But I've snapped a few hummers with mine. Here is what I would do ...........

You actually are a tad hot already.

You need more DOF. F/4.5 isn't going to do it. On the lens your using I'd set to F/11, raise your ISO to 2500 - 3200, double your distance from the feeder. Focus on the feeder when they swarm. I'd also get your shutter speed up to at least 1/320 if not higher.

When you do your PP crop in 100%, that retrieves the double distance you gave up. With 20MP you can give half of it away. But backing up and giving yourself more space will increase your DOF. you might find you can go wider once you back up a bit.

Hey Beercat,
Any suggestions for those of us using a Canon T3 with an aftermarket 300mm? Thanks...

Hi Ernie,
I attended the Art Center College of Design and majored in Advertising Photography when it was in Los Angeles. An excellent school in 1965! It has moved to Pasadena, CA., and I can't speak to the current quality although I would imagine it is great. Probably expensive as well.

Very unique way of bringing in the flowers' name. I understand you used scrabble titles to do this but why did you included the name Scrabble? Unless you have some meaning I have totally missed, I would have just put the flower name where you have Scrabble. Please enlighten me as to you thinking.
Great color and composition here. :thumbup:

Wow, does this ever bring back the memories of my youth as a student at The Art Center College of Design. Been there and done that. :thumbup: :thumbup: Thanks for the heads up to this video.

Hi Busmaster 2: I have been there and done that. Such a hard time but you have your photos. In case you have never heard of the "Rainbow Bridge", perhaps this will offer some comfort to you - I know it does to me...

What a fun time you must of had shooting these crazy shoes. The shot looks great to me. Did you do a lot of pp to get rid of the noise or did it not have any to begin with?

I used it many years ago and did not like it. If I remember correctly it was difficult to retrieve my files and I also thought there was little storage for the cost. That said, it was many years ago, I think when it first came out, and things may have changed/improved...
