I'm a new member and have been trying to learn photography for three years. I have three hummingbird pictures and would like comments. I took about 200 pictures over four sessions. I have a Canon camera and following are my final settings:
Tripod and flash, shutter speed 1/1500, f/5.6, ISO 2500, focal length 300mm, spot metering, manual focus.
Close crop in PS with minor adjustments.
Thanks, PhotoLiz

Great shots. I've only been a member here for three weeks and have seen some amazing pictures. One day I hope to post one myself.

Beautiful. It looks like you cut the middle one out of a scene and put it on a green background. What kind of photo editing program did you use? It's nicely done though.

Ah, photoshop, sorry I missed your post the first time.... Sometimes I get the original thread and replies in the thread mixed up... You did an excellent job too.
