Came home after ike and walked outside and there was a humming bird near the hawaiin gingers(sp?) I thought it was cool but it was too dark and it flew away before I could get the camera.

Welcome back--love the last photo.

Glad to hear you got your power back. I know you are lovin the a/c. We got our power back a few days ago and it was such a relief.

 

[Arlon]

Nice pictures!

Beautiful shots. That last one should get at least 9 style points for the backflip. I really like whatever you did for post processing these. Between that and the butter smooth bokeh, the birds really pop from the background.

Actually, I did very little post processing on these. I did these on my laptop since I didn't have power until last night. The birds pop from the background because of the lighting I used (see my previous hummer post). As for the smooth background...well, that's just the 600f4 working its magic ;-)

Excellent work. Glad you got the power back.

must be nice to have a 600 F4. Wow I would love one.
