Playing with my new camera, shot from my home office window near feeder. There is something to be said for lots of MPs :bg3:

Thanks for looking.

Owning a D800 I couldn't agree more, a nice capture, sharp, doesn't look noisy...nice work

Michael, I love hummers and love the pose on this one.:S3:

[Diane Miller]

Very nice! I'm wondering about bringing up the darks a little more? Should be possible without losing the light areas. A touch of fill flash works well with these guys -- doesn't seem to bother them at all. Impressive IQ -- at 6400! (Doesn't everyone miss film, SO much!?)

WoW...iso 6400!! I think your new camera is going to be lots of fun! Diane has a good point about bringing up the darks some. Great pose on this hummer with the uplifted wings and head.

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Stunning, love the light and the pose. Terrific image Michael.

Paul, Cheryl, Diane, Nancy, Jackie,

Thanks much for the comments. They are much appreciated. I left the darks for the theme mostly, agree a little lift would work. Enjoying the new camera (it's so tiny compared to my D4 ;-).

Cheers,

-Michael-
