Just up graded to the 27 inch I mac. Love the full screen pictures.

took this in my backyard. Canon 50,, F1.4 pre focused, had a remote and used a flash. sat & waited.

Year's ago when the bartender would call, my grandmother would send me down the street to help my grandfather home. This one night when I got there I saw him slip a Pint bottle into his back pants pocket. Just as I was helping him up the front steps he slipped & fell on his butt. He quickly jumped up & felt the back of his pants. He got this awful look on his face, looked up to the heavens and said "Dear God let it be blood".

Erv, hung a piece of wire where I wanted to shoot the Hummingbird, manually focused the lens on the wire, removed it, went back to my chair & waited with the remote in my hand. Took about 10-12 shoots, that was the best, and that was the one with the 50mm F1.4, and the 430EX II flash. Tried the Canon 70-200,but didn't get anything that sharp. Patience & Luck.

great shot

My First. Sounds like a confession. Philly skyline from my buddies rooftop deck.

Erv, thanks, help yourself. Tom

The Canon TC-80N3 has both single & multiple capabilities, it is also a self timer, interval timer, does long exposure and has exposure count settings. The learning curve is pretty quick. Handy manual.

The camera was about 2 feet form the feeder, And I was about
2 feet form the camera sitting at an outdoor table. I was attached to the tether, about 28 inches long. I placed the lens on manual, prefocused just in front of the feeder and sat back and waited with my finger on the remote. I took about 12 shots over a two hour time period. The longer I waited the more comfortable the bird became with the clicking. I didn't give myself much depth of Field, was hoping to get one good shot. Going to set up with ultra wide angle next time.

Tried it for the first time yesterday in my backyard. Got the Hummingbird used to a single feeder, placed my camera on a tripod, hooked up my CanonTC-80N3 and waited. first shot Canon 70-200mm, 2nd canon 50mm 1.4 with a flash.
