^^ Very nice shots! How do you find the non-IS version of that lens? Do you get lots of blurred shots at all?

Senna4ever 04-05-2009 11:45 PM

Not bad at all...just needs some corrections to contrast & exposure.

Senna4ever 04-09-2009 12:16 AM

Going to Reifel on Monday if anyone wants to go. :)

Hummingbirds were out in force today at Reifel...

I was shooting alongside this nice guy who was shooting with a 600mm f4 and partway through he wanted to try my 400mm f2.8, so we switched lenses. Holy crap....me want!

Nicely done Senna! I'm surprised the humming birds sat around that long to take some pics. Awesome photo's!

niforpix 04-14-2009 09:51 AM

DONT EAT ME

Boostslut 04-29-2009 03:20 PM

Noice pictures the both of ya! Would a tighter crop have worked better on 77's pic? Would show more of the subject and less of everything else, unless it all ready is a crop?

Boostslut 05-10-2009 06:40 PM

Went to Reifel today.

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3574/...15446c2f_b.jpg

First hummingbird shot i've ever taken. So awesome!

niforpix 05-10-2009 06:46 PM

What lens? Nice shot.

Boostslut 05-10-2009 06:47 PM

niforpix 05-10-2009 06:50 PM

ColinK 05-10-2009 07:59 PM

Boostslut 05-10-2009 08:12 PM

HyperREV 05-12-2009 12:17 PM

wow so many killer shots in here!

so i went out for the first time ever in search of birds... rather a pair of Osprey, no bird sanctuary here so some bushwackin was required. plz go easy on me! shot with a 40d and 70-200 2.8.

found the couple, they didnt like me getting too close. u can barely see them in the treetops. shot at 10mm
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3250/...659a1aaf_o.jpg


only shot i could get of them both together aside from the wide shot. 70mm from the same spot.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3402/...42586e46_o.jpg


200mm with a 2x TC, had to manually focus these as it doesnt like my sigma lens :( no cropping here.

hovering over the nest, trying to scare me off.

what a rush, im hooked/depressed at my lack of a 400mm or greater lens.

Mananetwork 05-12-2009 12:23 PM

I don't have the patients for this kind of stuff! It's all about the wait.
Last time I almost threw a rock to scare the bird from the tree :lol

Senna4ever 05-12-2009 05:54 PM

The BIF ones are the best. :)

Boostslut 05-17-2009 05:02 PM

Went to Reifel again and saw the hummingbird nest. Didn't get any BIF photo's there, but its amazing to see anyways. Enjoy!

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3572/...5ff5f2bb_b.jpg

But i did get this guy in flight. Very cool!

Senna4ever 05-17-2009 06:34 PM
