[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 149059, member: 12198"] Well I'm pretty behind in pics but putting up the hummingbird feeder has been a great challenge for me this week. Lighting so I can get high enough shutter speeds is interesting and focussing on the teeny tiny little birds is a serious challenge! Auto focus never seems to be able to find them and manually focusing has got me practicing LOTS. Great fun and trying silhouettes was fun.
