Hummingbird in control at the feeder. I set shutter speed to 2000, and bumped up th ISO speed to 800 to adjust for the low light situation. I am trying to get out of the "Auto Mode" on my camera. Hope you enjoy...

Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.
It looks like the camera settings worked perfectly Greg! A very clear and lovely shot of this little bird. It moves so fast, yet you managed to capture the details on its wings! great shot!

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Lucky! My camera only goes to iso 400. My dad spent two years with his Cannon AE1 35mm trying to stop a hummingbirds wings. You have done it perfectly. Congrats!
