Hummingbirds

Hi! We're the new guys here. I decided to stop and take a break (I'm attempting to get a lot of stuff accomplished in a very short window for a 2 week trip - nothing like waiting till the last moment). Anyway, these might qualify as "wildlife"

Taken with a Canon 5D and 300 f2.8 with 1.4 extender:



Taken with a Mamiya 645 AFD II and P30+ using a Mamiya 300 f/2.8:



Next will be close ups of Dragonflys ....

Gee I hope this works

Okay folks I tried this thinking the image would show in the message, so what did I do wrong?

Hi Don
my turn to welcome you on board!

Your image are indeed ineteresting, but we use to have larger image to appreciate and get more in the pic… something like 600 pix is very fine…

Thanks for posting!

Hi Nicolas - I agree with you regarding image size, will repost with larger soon.


Don

Hi Don

Welcome, nice shots, look forward to seeing the larger versions and the dragonflys, I know how difficult they are.....

Qualify to my eye. Good ones.

These were all shot hand held. The first was with a Canon 5D and 300 f2.8 with 1.4 extender, the last two were shot with a Mamiya 645 AFD II w/a Mamiya 300 f/2.8 lens. In all cases we were no closer than 10-12 feet.

Enjoy!
