I have a Canon 60 D. I returned the canon kit to Costco. I repurchased the Canon 60D locally (Atlanta Ga.) at Showcase & upgraded from Canon 28-200MM to Tamron 70-300 MM F/4-5.6. I bought Photo Shop 10 for $50.00.
I hope this will improve my photography. This is with my new system.

A good shot of the hummer and as a suggestion, use the "sports" setting with hummers - it'll stop the wing blur - unless you want that. I have a Canon XTi and use a Canon 75-300 with it, on a tripod with remote clicker, to get good hummer shots. Beautiful little birds to watch around a feeder, especially when they duel it out. hahaha

Thank you for the suggestion. I used the auto mode that doesn't fire flash. Hand held thru window. I will move outside & use tripod & Turn off all auto features on lens.
After seeing the hummer pictures on the forum I have a long way to go. I just purchased the Tamron SP 70-300 zoom & really like it.

Yup - when you get your camera set up on a tripod use just the manual features. Try using the sport setting at first. Once you go tv, ap and manual you'll have your work cut out with finding the right settings. Do you have a remote clicker? They are great with your camera on a tripod and focused - then you just set and watch the hummers and click away. Not familiar with Tamron but use a Sigma 70-300 and Canon 75-300 and all I can say is that range lens is ideal.

Thanks,
I returned the Canon 60 D to Costco because I didn't like the Canon 28-200 lens. I repurchased the 60D with the Tamron. I was fortunate to buy from a local photo shop.
The sales lady taught me more during the purchase than the video or the forum.I did purchase a remote clicker & a quality lens protector. I will probably go to their photo class. just when I think I have a good shot I look on the forum & understand I have a lot to learn. But gettin there.
I really appreciate the feed back.
