Re: [APML] OT: hummers

[George Anderson <georgea@cam.org>]

Every time I've tried photographing them they have darted off just from
the sound of the shutter firing on my Pentax, it would be twenty to
thirty minutes before they would return.

Clear skies and good health

ps:can you send me your snailmail address again, I finally have my
burner working and I have some filters I promised you a few months back.

I wanted the hummers to be less complacent, so that they would assume interesting poses. I moved the green plant close to the feeder to give them something to maneuver around. When the breeze blew, that also helped make things more interesting. I have plenty of shots with the bird calmly feeding; didn't need more of those.
