[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 303393, member: 12198"] Spring has finally arrived because the hummingbirds arrived on Monday morning yeah but Mondays attempts weren't great So after catching up on some threads and seeing [USER=9240]@BackdoorHippie[/USER]s hummingbird set up I creeped up closer and waited and waited for them to decide I wasn't too much of a threat. The bright sun washes out the colour but there's no point in using anything lower than 1/1000 shutter (learned that last year), my tamron is f5-6.3 and my nikon 70-300 isn't much better but gives me less reach. I upped ISO to 640 but even that makes my photos more pixely (??) Hummingbirds came back although were more on edge so I used my tripod with the ballhead slightly loose so I could manuever easier. Here's my set up taken with cell because I only have one camera :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]87851._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
