Ashby 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 This is Dash, my wife's Anna's Hummingbird. This guy has been with us now for 9 months and will let us get right up on him. The really close picture of him was taken from about 2 feet away, and he just let me do it. All of these are from today. Hope you like them.

Ashby 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 Here is a Mallard I got a shot of today. He kept on turning so I couldn't get a picture of him, but I finally got it. Once my new lens gets in, I'll be able to get out there and really get some good bird shots. My 70-300mm lens comes in either tomorrow or the next day.

Ashby 0 Report post Posted February 5, 2008 Thanks Jim, yeah this camera is a hoot. I can't wait until I know it like the back of my hand, then I'll be ready to rock. Ashby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ashby 0 Report post Posted February 8, 2008 Here are a few pictures from today. The hummingbird again (love the little guy) and a couple song birds. Taking pictures of birds may look nice, but man it's a lot of work especially when you are new behind one of these camera. Anyway, here they are.

Vito1 0 Report post Posted February 12, 2008 I was going through some old photos of mine last night and found this one. It's a Great Blue Heron sunning itself. The quality of the photo isn't very good but I thought I'd share it with you guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashby 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2008 That's a pretty awesome shot of the Blue Heron. I keep trying to get a shot of them and the Hawks but (must be my uglyness) they hall butt every time they see me. Must be stealthier Ashby Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SW0352 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2008 Finally had a nice day to get out and shoot some pics with the new camera, so here are a few from this evening. The last two are 100% crops. The geese are pretty used to people being around so I could get a lot closer to them and didn't have to crop so much. Did I already say that I need a bigger lens? :dunno: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayMorr 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 I think this is a chickadee. Taken this past weekend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peterjay 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Looks like a mountain chickadee. They're different than the chickadees we have here in NE, but I remember seeing the mountain variety when we lived in Idaho. Nice shot. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
