You sure have a nice clean window! Beautiful shots! I spent part of yesterday stalking the 3 hummers we have here, with lame results. For some reason, Christopher scares them, and all birds, away? Jen :shock:
When people mention their amazement of shooting through windows, I am not kidding when I simply respond "Windex". Jennifer, let me tell you something else that you might find interesting. If I have the time to sit down for awhile, I plop myself down in a lawn chair with me being between the sun and the hummingbird feeder with my back toward the sun of course. I will be as close as 10ft. away. I simply wait with camera in hand. No remote triggers, no tripods, none of that garbage. In a bright sun, I will set the ISO down to 100, Aperture around F8, and crank that shutter speed way up if that is the effect I am going for and just wait. It is that simple. In your case, you have a little boy to contend with. Easy fix. A stake and about 10ft. of chain will take care of that problem. My mom used to do that with me all time. It got kind of old when I was 25 and she was still doing that to me.
