Great captures, I don't think I've ever seen a humming bird at rest in person.

Who could ever get tired of seeing hummingbird shots, especially presented like these?
Amazing...the last shot is just too stunning. Great work.

I am fairly new to DPS, but I always look forward to your posts, PrimeTime. They do not disappoint. What beautiful color on the last one. Simply stunning.

Woah! How could anyone get tired of seeing something like these! Holy cow! Splendid. And I agree with Scooba Steve (giggle,giggle..love the name), I've never seen a hummingbird sitting before. Very very cool. Great clarity!

Thumbs up

One could never get tired of seeing such fabulous fotos as these are. These are so sharp and composition is perfect!!!

I had my first attempt recently of trying to capture Kingfishers diving into the water for fish. Difficult getting the focus and settings right - what recommendations could you give me. Cheers, Bernz

it is pretty hard to get sick of seeing them when I can't get photos of them that good. Incredible photos....they move so fast that as soon as you get focused they are gone again. Good job.

PT, I could see these every 5 minutes for the rest of my days, and never grow weary. In fact, I can hear my inner child getting so excited she can hardly get her words out. "Look, OMG, purple wing feathers! And irridescent green--all shiny and pretty in the sun! He's got a brown beaded necklace!" Sorry--got carried away. Can you tell us his name again?
