I can’t recall if I already mentioned that I purchased a product called the “Better Beamer.” It’s something that attaches to the external flash and it gives the flash more intensity. Anyway, I attempted to take some Hummingbird shots when it was pretty much dark outside. This first shot is rather funny. Obviously it’s the…

Category Archives: Ruby Throated HummingbirdI woke up late today so I didn’t get a chance to get some early morning pictures of the Hummingbirds. I did get some of 1 Hummingbird early this afternoon. It was on our feeder by the window. If you look at the full size image, you can see the Hummingbird with its tongue sticking… I managed to get a few shots of the Ruby Throated Hummingbirds early this evening. Based on what I saw this morning and this evening, we have a total of 3 of them right now, and they fight constantly. The background in these pictures is really dark, but I think that actually made the pictures… This picture was massively underexposed, but I was able to brighten up a bit. It still looks a little grainy to me. It’s a Ruby Throated Hummingbird sipping nectar from the Cigar Bush. Got up with the sunrise this morning. Been outside for 2 hours. I think I took some of my best shots ever of the Hummingbirds. I’ll try and post them later this afternoon or tonight. After I rest up, I’ll go out and try and take some additional pictures so check back soon. Oh, what… As promised, here are some Ruby Throated Hummingbird pictures. In these first 2 pictures there was a Hummingbird somewhat distracted by this Milkweed Bug on the feeder. He/She quickly got over the bug and went about drinking nectar. In this next set, I used a little Lightroom creativity because I didn’t care for the background… The majority of yall seem to enjoy the Hummingbird pictures, so I’m going to do my best to deliver. I’ll be posting some of them later tonight (Friday) and all through the weekend, if I have any luck. For those that responded to the “Who Wants To Play A Game” post the other night, I’m… I probably spent about 3-4 hours on and off today waiting to take pictures of Hummingbirds. Never before have I been able to take a picture of Hummingbirds with their wings stopped in motion. Today was my lucky day. This next shot was of the Ruby Throated Hummingbird taking a drink from the new Hummingbird… I’ll be posting some new Hummingbird photos later tonight. I got up bright and early this morning to catch the early morning light. I got some good birds in flight shots, but no hummingbirds. That changed when I went back out in the afternoon. Check back later tonight for the new photos! It finally happened. I finally got a couple of shots of the Ruby Throated Hummingbird. It’s not that they haven’t been around, they have (for the last two weeks), but trying to get a photograph is a whole different story. In this first shot, I could hear the Hummingbird (I’ve learned to recognize their sound)… Although the Monarch butterflies won’t be migrating through Texas for another 1-2 months, I am starting to see another creature that uses up lots of energy in their migrations. It’s the Ruby Throated Hummingbird. We probably just have 1-2 right now from the best I can tell, but generally once they get here in full… |
