A Farewell to Hummers

Thanks for the comments, everyone!

Hummer Battle nominated:
September POTM Nomination Thread | Page 2 | Photography Forum

But see, here's the thing: They cheat. They HAVE to be cheating somehow. I don't know HOW they do it, but that's GOT to be the reason they get these absurdly awesome shots that blow the rest of OUR stuff out of the water. I mean, it can't just be that they are THAT much better than me, can it???

Maybe they've figured out how to make a pet out of the hummers!
You're jealous of them, and me of you.. if only my pics were half as good as you
These are some real awesome shots,and the last one is just incredible. I'd have nominated it if it wasn't already nominated.

Wow, thank you--both of you--for the nomination, and the "second."

LOL, I never cheat I think you did great Sharon. These little buggers are tough. Although the only time I photograph them is out in the wild. Maybe next year I will get a feeder...

Last year, I only got photos of them in the wild. This year, I haven't had much time to GO out in the wild, so it's been a blessing that I put those feeders up.

Good work Sharon. Really like these.

BTW, it looks like you have a dust bunny on your sensor. I'm pretty sure that's not a fart cloud coming out of the hummer on the right in #6.

Those things are diesel-powered, you know!
Thanks for noticing that; yes, I have several bad dust spots (MUST. Clean. SOON.) and now that you say that, I realize that in my rush to process, I forgot to look for them in all the pictures. I'll have to fix that!

Aaaaaannnnnddddd.............I quit.

I'm done. Anyone wanna buy some camera gear?

Kris and Matthew--and that Danny guy from New Zealand too, though he's not been around lately--they are just crazy good. It doesn't make me sick, it makes me HIGHLY jealous. LOL. And slightly depressed.

No, you dont get to quit. Nope, not happening.

And yours are just as good.
