Seems like only yesterday you got your 20D...


3 years and 3 days, but who's counting?

Nicely done. That's the way to do it. I had been fairly stable with a 1D
from 2003 until 2006 and then last fall I tried the 400D, then a 5D and then
settled on a 1D2N, until last month when I tried a 1DM3 for a couple weeks
before deciding for me it was too much money/not enough camera. My N is fine
but I'm doing less sports so I'm thinking of going back to the 5D or trying
a 40D.

I'm glad to see a happy 40D user and look forward to another 3 years of
surprises from you.

Good photos Bret, however is it just me or is the second photo quite noisy?

Nothing like waking up in the morning with a
brand new camera and a nice hummer!

Forgot to say, is the second one a 100% crop, or near?

Hi Brett,

I know I can say this to you as you take critiques well :-)

Is it me or is his/her chest a little blown? It may be my screen.

How many shots before you could get the wings up like that? Were you
shooting in rapid mode or were you just incredibly lucky?

Nice shots. Congrats on the new truck and camera. Which do you like
better? How many times have you seen a hummingbird stationary like
that? I can count the number of times I've even seen a hummingbird on
one hand but when I did, they wouldn't sit still like that for one
second.

Well, since you said please.
Here's a full size crop from the second pic:

The camera. It didn't cost me as much.

Every day. Hummers are very territorial. They will sit on a perch or
a limb and wait for another hummer and then they'll swoop down and
terrorize the intruder. Sometimes when I get bored I'll toss an ice
cube at the hummer sitting on a branch. The cube will only miss him
by inches, but the hummer doesn't even flinch. Those suckers must
have radar like a bat.

Don't make me sue you, you STALKER!

Almost blown, but not quite.
