Long Time No See - Here are some Hummers

New Hummingbird comes and uses my perch. He has claimed his spot white I think I notice a small patch of red but it is a juvenile I am sure.
Has been a great poser giving me some different looks. it has been over cast. Hopefully next year I will buy some better flower and setup a few more lights.
Thanks for looking

Beautiful set Matt

 

these are so beautiful. so sharp too!

 

Great set of shots. I'm curious to know how you're getting that solid background, it looks more than dof blur so I assume you do it in post?

 

Nicely captured. Like the position of number 5.

 

I just love the colours. They are beautiful!

Great set Matt. You got yourself a little poser there.

 

Thanks for all your comments

The backgrounds are all "natural". No printed paper behind the subject or background replaced in photoshop.

I am very close to the subject and the background is very far away. Dof I usually too thin even for this small bird but there is little I can do about that even stopping to f22 doesn't help much. The background I have positioned myself for a new, old wood fence in the far background and grass as my backyard is slanted and I can get eye level shots with grass as the bg if needed or a combo of the fence as well

 

These are absolutely gorgeous.

 

Wow, those are beautiful. I could only wish to get that close to my hummingbirds.

 

Outstanding. Makes me not want to post mine

But I really enjoy everything you post here, on your website and on Flickr.
